Nice place
RK68 ·This was good to see but you don't get to see everything with this pass.
Nice stop
Crim ·Gained entry to the grounds but not the mansion but it was still worth stopping in to see the houses on the property and the beautiful gardens
Avoid
Natasha ·We checked in and noted that we had the Go City pass. The employee loudly indicated that she hated the "Go City." This location was not welcoming and not worth visiting.
