Upstairs/Downstairs Tour 2023

Tour ticket holders do not need to purchase a Daily Grounds Pass, as tour tickets include grounds access.

The Upstairs/Downstairs Tour is perfect for those wishing to experience all of the Mansion in one visit. This guided tour ranges from an hour and a half to two hours, encompassing the first two floors of the mansion, spanning approximately 16 rooms, providing visitors with a rare glimpse of the lavish decorative arts and furniture remaining from the previous owners of Lyndhurst. Throughout the tour you will visit the Mansion`s parlor, filled with furniture designed by architect A.J. Davis, the opulent Grand Picture Gallery with an original collection of European paintings, impressive Tiffany stained glass windows, and so much more!

Visitors can expect a rare glimpse of the Mansion as they climb to the fifth-floor observation tower with panoramic views of the Hudson River and Manhattan, descend the backstairs to view the butler’s suite and the extensive basement kitchen rooms; before exiting through the servants’ dining room and visiting the c.1911 Laundry Building complete with original fixtures.
