Biltmore, Asheville

Really fun! If you have a ticket, you can explore the grounds any time during the day and then enter the home at your “ticket time.” It’s a self guided tour where you press numbers on a handheld speaker that you put up to your ear. We went through pretty quickly and it took us just short of 1.5 hours. You could spend multiple days exploring the grounds. Be aware of the times the restaurants close if you want to get food there. The food is at a premium price so that’s one downside, but you’re paying for the experience. You cannot take a stroller inside because of all the stairs. Our toddler did great on the tour and liked pressing the buttons on their speaker. They have a special audio tour for kids programmed on the speakers. It kept them entertained for the first half. They lost steam the second half but still made it through happily. Definitely a really cool site to see.

This attraction is a great place to spend your day! The house itself is an amazing piece of history. The grounds it sits on has many other things to do as well like a garden, a conservatory, miles of trails, and a winery. Would totally recommend! However A bit pricey for what's included. Was hoping to see more of the house. The gardens were so impressive and the art and what we got to see inside the house was mind blowing and so interesting. Make sure to take the guided audio tour. Not sure if I'll ever go back but if I do I will most certainly allow for more time to wander around the gardens. It is very beautiful place! Make sure you allow at least an hour + for the indoor house tour with audio guide. We spent a full day exploring the house, shops and gardens!
