The Breakers in Palm Beach is the most amazingly gorgeous hotel imaginable! It was built in the Gilded Age, and has all the qualities of a Gilded Age mansion. It has 4 pools, a beach, 10 restaurants, and a magnificent lobby and meeting rooms. The staff was exceptional, and the food delicious. Palm Beach is beautiful- palm trees everywhere. and so clean and well taken care of.

We enjoy architecture and touring castles, cathedrals, and chalets. It is a view into how elite people lived in that age. An impressive mansion. Set up like a museum. There are several rotating museum set ups in the upstairs. Currently it’s on bicycles. The tea house was fun to visit. Check the schedule for tea brunches on the lawn.

Be ready to pay $26.00 to get in. Parking is pretty good they have 2 lots. They give you a radio to listen to a speech about every room on your self-guided tour. The rooms are done up well and you are given unlimited time to walk around. Very ornate trim and designs. Steps involved but there are elevators. Best part was the train Flagler owned, not to be missed.The whole place is nicely done. Needs to be half of what you pay so more people could enjoy.

My husband and I enjoyed the guided tour that started at 11. The docent was quite knowledgeable and shared lots of info in the house and Flagler and his family. I especially enjoyed being able to go in the rail car that he and is wife rode in to go to Key West for the first time.

If you want to be impressed by absolute splendor you must see this mansion. It surpasses the Hearst Castle as well as all of the mansions in New Port Rhode Island. It has an audio tour that explains the various architecture throughout the house.

Beautiful old home with interesting details. It is well worth a visit. There is also a train car in the adjacent building. Take the guided tour with a person and avoid the cumbersome recorded tour. I’m

take pictures of this great home that was a wedding gift to his wife. a great home that has 75 rooms all different with many items used in the home at the time. A tour that is well worth your time and money. One of the highlights of the area.

We loved it. I was with my husband and 11 year old son. We all enjoyed the audio tour they give to you at the start of the tour. What was really cool is we were one of the only ones there. We went around 3 on a Tuesday in June. It’s a great time to go, very light crowd and you can see everything in such a calm pleasant way. Try to go if you are in Palm Beach learning the history of Henry Flagler is worth it.

This was like stepping back into the Gilded Age of fabulous wealth and mansions to match the life styles of the very wealthy. Once you enter this mansion you are in for a treat. It is about as elegant and large as any palace in Europe, complete with a ball room, billiard room, garden court yard, and a formal dinning room fit for a king. You can carry a listening self touring device or go on one of the organized tours with a guide, both which are free of charge. There is no rush to see the place and you can revisit rooms up stairs and down as much as you like. The inner court yard is full of tropical plants, trees, and flowers. A fountain dedicated to Venus stands in the middle. The tickets are not cheap. We both paid $28.00 each, but it is well worth every penny. So, revisit the Gilded Age again, you won't be disappointed

The Flagler Museum is worth the visit. The history of modern Florida is tied to Mr. Flagler's achievements bringing the railroad and creating Palm Beach. The house has amazing architecture, historical furniture and photos from the . It would be nicer if the gardens were more extensive with local plants.
