This is one of those rare places that deserve a 5 out of 5 star rating. Bartow-Pell Mansion is so unique & beautiful with rich history & beautiful original vintage pieces housed inside the mansion from a bygone era.
I was searching for things to do in NYC that are off the beaten path during my vacation from work & this place came up in 2 different articles on Google. Set in the Pelham Bay Park section of Bronx,NY this mansion & it's grounds are straight out of a movie set.
The staff was very friendly & welcoming. Our tour guide Robin(if I remember her name correctly) was a sweetheart & thoroughly explained to us the history of the mansion & it's owners. There is a ton of stuff to see here. From the servant quarters to the carriage house to the absolutely stunning spiral staircase this place is mesmerizing.
I took my dad with me & he thoroughly appreciated & enjoyed it as well. The museum mansion is for all age groups to young kids to older seniors & everyone in between. It also makes for a cute date spot. If you haven't checked it out already I highly recommend that you do. Entrance is $15 for adults & $13 for seniors. There is plenty of parking available in front of the mansion.
