Hartwood Mansion

Very nice location for pictures and general tours. BUT, do not have your wedding here. I was in a wedding at the Mansion, and the coordinator was atrociously rude to the bride and the bridal party. We were told we needed to be out by 7pm. Everyone was busting their butts to clean up and load cars, but this wasn't good enough. The coordinator yelled at the bride and made her very upset 30 minutes before 7 because the DJ was still playing music and the bartender was still handing out drinks. She should have addressed the DJ and bartender, not the bride. At 6:45, this lady threatened to have the police escort everyone out at 7 if everyone was not in their cars by then. Ridiculous. You can find other venues where the staff won't treat you like shit for the same price. more

Just returned from a tour of the Mansion at Hartwood Acres. Very friendly. As far as mansions go this is a smaller mansion but neverftheless very nice. its $5.00 per person. After our tour we had some time before the light show which was to start at 6:00. We came back about 5:20 and there were already cars lined up. They were letting the cars in early. The light show path goes through the park past the mansion and is 3 1/2 miles long. We really enjoyed it. You pay at the end of and it is a ""suggested donation of $12.00"" which we paid, I thought it was well worth it. more

beautiful at Christmas time but definetly not free.... They charge per carload. I don't know why this was rated as a top ""free"" attraction. Pros: beautiful lights, lots of room Cons: charge per car more
