This is a great tour for anyone who likes history, interior decor, architecture or just walking around someone else's house. You get a tour of the first 3 floors for $9.50 or a total tour of all 5 floors for $18.00. This was the setting to a 70's Patty Duke movie ""You'll Like My Mother"" and the sight of a real life murder...but don't ask your tour guide about the murders. They're not allowed to talk about them. Walk around the grounds and see their formal gardens, carrige house, boat house and a gorgeous view of lake superior. This is well worth the money. Younger children may not have the patience, however, and may feel stifled in the ""don't touch a single thing"" atmosphere.
Pros: interesting, good parking, friendly tour guides
Cons: bit expensive, cold in the winter, much walking
