A great house museum with lots of beautiful woodwork inside. They offer guided tours everyday. Other than the architecture and the brewing business I was fascinated with the art collection here. Some amazing paintings are shown here which were collected by Pabst family. If you enjoy art and history, a visit to the Pabst Mansion is a must.

One of the best tours ever!!! Beautiful home restored to its original grandeur. Great knowledge staff

Oh my goodness.... you have to see this place!Roughly $15/ person to take the tour, very interesting facts and history about this place and the memorabilia includedVery cool home to check out, definitely a good place to check out while anyone is in Milwaukee area, if you have a couple hours to burn.

We were there for their annual Christmas themed decorations. You not only get to see a classic mansion, you experience the glory days in its holiday majesty. All the antique rooms and decor with Christmas trees and custom decorations put together with painstaking effort together with volunteers present on every floor to answer your questions or to explain the background. Great experience.

Wonderful place! We went on the evening Christmas tour. Three floors were decorated for Christmas. The restoration of the rooms is incredible. Plenty of woodwork and period furniture. Very informative self guided pamphlet. Volunteers are also available to answer questions. Gift shop has plenty of Pabst gear!

One of the last remaining great Mansions on what was Grand Avenue. The Pabst Mansion is a time capsule of the late 19th century and it houses a good portion of the original furnishings. After 40 years the foundation is still bringing this Milwaukee gem back to its original glory. So if its been over ten years since your last visit I would recommend a return trip.

This was a really cool tour. The only way to see the houses interior is through a tour. They offer tours on the hour and they have senior and student discounts available. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. There is a floor that is largely unrennovated, but the rest of the house has had incredible work done to restore it to its original splendor. There are also photos of the family so you can kind of envision their life in the home. Definitely a fun activity to do if you enjoy history and walking tours.

Holiday at the mansion. This is so beautiful and full of history. The staff is very accommodating and very helpful. They answer any questions you may have all the way to the heatung system. It is very accessible in restrooms and entryways and elevator to each floor. It is walker-friendly. the aisles are wide and comfortable. There is a marvelous gift shop and throughout the house there are areas where you are able to purchase ornaments at this time of year that are made of beeswax. You can take advantage of guided tours in tours with special lighting at night. There are not many of these types of mansions left in fact the Pillsbury Mansion is now being destroyed as it wasnt able to be kept up. As you see in the photos there are upkeeps being done here and your patronage is key to keeping Milwaukee history alive. If you are from out of town this will be one site you do not want to miss out on. If youre from Milwaukee be a tourist in your own town learn your history feel your history and if you think you liked living in Milwaukee before you will love living in Milwaukee once you learn about the Pabst Mansion and see its beauty..

Extremely knowledgeable docents! Very thorough tour.

The place is not giant as I thought, it is just a big house, however the interior was breath taking, and the staff are super friendly, Barbra our guide worked there for 9 years and seemed to know every single detail, great respect to her!

The Pabst Mansion Twilight Tour was a wonderful event and would highly recommend. It something the whole family can enjoy.

A very impressive mansion. Beautiful detail throughout the house with mahogany, oak, birch wood etc. Gorgeous gold and satin walls. An amazing family one would appreciate. What abplus that many items are original to the house or have been returned or donated! Loved the experience. Carolyn was a great guide host!!!

The mansion is beautiful and extremely well preserved. The tour was interesting and compelling. Kudos to Karen for her knowledge and her gift to share it.

I got a ticket for 3 p.m. tour and because I was the only one, my tour was kind of private Place was beyond amazing, amazing history, beautiful decorations for Christmas, nicely preserved and they still working to continue getting items which was belongs to that house and she told me that they got the money for renovation, which going to happen next year and its going to be more beautiful.Thank you to everyone whos working hard to preserve and make better for future.

Beautiful old Mansion. Loved the ladies who worked there in the gift shop and giving the tours. A must see when you are in Milwaukee.

A tour rich with the history of Milwaukee, the Pabst family, and beer in a masterpiece of architectural design and decor. The restoration is phenomenal (and ongoing). With so many tantalizing details and very knowledgeable docents each offering a little different twist on the extensive history, it warrants more than one trip. Affordable, would recommend a weekday visit for a slightly more intimate experience, although groups are capped at 25 even on weekends.

Learned a lot about the history. Amazing place to see when you are in Milwaukee. So beautiful inside.

The day we were there, we only had time to view the building from the outside. The intricate details were just amazing. The upkeep of the building has been done right! We will make time to view inside the next time we are in Milwaukee!

Great tour of this fabulously restored, fully furnished home. The tour gave us a detailed look into the Pabst family as well as the American beer industry. An EXCELLENT value for the price.

I went to this place thinking it would be an aokay experience but I left with having one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. The tour guide was super knowledgeable and did a great job leading the tour. The home itself is one of the coolest estates I’ve ever been in. The home tour is also very cheap for what you’re getting. The home is nice but if more restoration money came in then the home would be even more perfect. Do go to this place if you have the time.

We went to see it decorated and I highly recommend it!

What a BEAUTIFUL mansion. We took the tour and learned a lot.

Visited the mansion with my family for Christmas. We were told there would be a docent in each room but they were not very accessible to us. I did mention to a docent that I wondered how they traveled the tight staircase with their gowns and she condescendingly stated, “Mrs. Pabst would never use the servant’s stairs”. I simply smiled and mentioned to my daughter that I believe the servants wore rather wide gowns also. There was no furniture in the master bedroom which was disappointing and the sink in the kitchen was full of ornaments which made it difficult to see it. There were a few advertisements of who decorated the individual rooms which I thought was unnecessary. Outside the home there was a very distasteful sour smell, the ground was covered by what appeared to be fermented fruit. It would seem to me that the caretakers would pay equal attention to the outside as they did the inside of the house.

Such a gorgeous house with amazing tour guides and lots of things to learn. It is not completely renovated but 95% done and looks beautiful.

There are many historical things.roof carving, furniture, all rooms are well maintained and attractive .

Beautiful artwork, well decorated, great history, incredible carved and ornate woodwork, original fixtures...a must see!

The home was nicely decorated for the holidays with Christmas trees in most of the rooms. And the history given by the staff was interesting. A guided tour followed us and the tour guide had much more interesting stories to share. I would recommend a guided tour rather than a self guided one.

Beautiful house. Its such a shame to think the whole street was covered with mansions at one time, and this one was almost tore down to build a parking lot for a holiday inn. As if that wasnt bad enough, theyve had to spend countless dollars undoing awful design choices from the 60s when everyone decided to paint over wood work and wall paper. Its worth taking a tour at least to donate the money for restoration.

Love touring these old homes. Captain Pabst incorperated some really nice features into his home. Glad it was saved from the wrecking ball many years ago. Guide was great and gave history as well.

What a beautiful place! Located right near Marquette University, it is in a cool section of Milwaukee. More impressive though, are the 37 rooms of this mansion! Amazing woodwork, and a great prince of Milwaukee history. I learned a great deal about The Captain! A recommended rainy-day activity. Its a little pricey ($12 for 75min tour) but worth seeing once.

Liked it. Friendly staff. It worth visiting there.

Fun and very informative tour. I dont drink beer but I sure had a taste this day. Not disappointed either.

Took the tour today with my family! Excellent example of what it was like for the wealths living conditions in the late 1800’s! Tour guide did an amazing job describing the different rooms. And, the hand carved and painted features of the rooms are a great example of the 19th century pride the craftsman had! Plan on a two hour time frame at this wonderful site!

We stayed here with friends and couldnt have been happier. Great location and really cool atmosphere. Rooms were really nice too. We booked a room with the view of the city and given the view of a parking garage so that was disappointing but beisdes that it was nice.

A very interesting place to visit. I learned a lot about the Pabst family and the time period they lived in plus the history of the mansion by taking the tour.

Beautiful and friendly guides. There for Xmas without a guided tour this time of year that was sorely missed. I could have gone to a mall to see fancy trees. Was more interested in the mansion. I picked the wrong time of the year to go I suppose.

The Pabst Mansion is a stunning Flemish revival structure - very ornate with heavy German influence as you would expect from a leading beer family. The tour guides are well-informed and make the tour interesting. Guided tours are on the hour, but what is not clear in advance is that you MUST take a guided tour - you cannot walk through at your own pace. So dont show up at 10 minutes after the hour because youll be waiting awhile for the next tour. Plan ahead and you will be glad you visited this property. Pabst Mansion makes the family and beer industry culture more understandable than if you only tour a brewery.

Very large mansion that has been undergoing a restoration for the past 30+ years. Most rooms are in pristine condition. The tour takes about 90 minutes and is extremely informative. A must-see.

Truly a GREAT STORY, FRIENDLY PEOPLE...

Dont expect beer afterwards but do expect to learn a lot about the days when electricity was being introduced to the masses and what the rich did to make their homes stand out. The house is crazy and the history of the building is pretty cool too.

One of 3 mansions remaining in what was once a very affluent neighborhood. Support historical preservation and enjoy a visit to this time period. The tour includes an impressive remnant from the Worlds Fair.

Beautiful architecture. The detail of wood work, stained glass and the history was impressive. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the family history and home restoration. I wish we were able to take photos of the inside for memorable moments, but was told we could not.

Fantastic tour of one of the only mansions still standing from that era. Very informative guides! Highly recommend if in Milwaukee.

This place is beautiful and architectural details are stunning.Barb, our docent, made it even better. She was an excellent guide and the history she provided, really brought the mansion to life.

A nice tour of the historic mansion. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the staff was friendly. The house has a lot of beautiful and interesting details with stories to match.

Such a wonderful place. This astounding landmark has quite the interior, and their holiday events are just lovely! I would recommend this amazing stop to anyone.

Unique place to kill and hour or so of time and learn the history of the midwests more famous beer. Get there at minimum 30 minutes before a schedule tour as tickets go quickly!

Wonderful piece of history. Carole was a great tour guide!

Our tour guide was very nice and very knowledgeable. She made the tour very enjoyable and very interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour.

This is a very beautiful and interesting place. I spent hours here learning about the mansions history and the man. I would go again.

Amazing place. Staff are very friendly and full of information. Go at Christmas, absolutely stunning.

We are so glad we toured the mansion while in Milwaukee. Its well worth the time and the tour price is reasonable. We toured on a Sunday and wanted the noon tour since we were heading onto Green Bay that day and didnt want to be delayed. A good tip is to check if the gift shop has opened early to sell tickets. We got there slightly before noon to find out others had bought tickets already. We snagged the last four tickets so it worked out.

Absolutely beautiful restoration work has been done to this building. The tour was great, very knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend going on the tour, well worth it.

My wife and I were married here back in November of 2011. Wonderful place for a historic tour or to host your next event

Gary the volunteer was amazing! Very knowledgeable and could answer any question you had and had history to add to it!

Highly recommended, beautifully kept and restored mansion. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.

Fascinating tour and docent (Barb) did a great job describing the history and architecture. It appears a behind the scenes tour is offered to go more in depth with details and visit more areas of house (attic and basement) - would have loved to do that, so will try for it on a future visit.

Well worth the ($14) price of admission. Tour is 75 mins and full of information on the Pabst family.

The mansion was beautiful and the tour illuminating. You will walk away far more knowledgeable not only of the Pabst family history but of the greater Milwaukee city history and the life they lived with other major local entrepreneurs. Our tour covered the history of the Pabst family life while moving through their 3 story home over about an hour and 15 min. I think youll appreciate the intricate woodwork and detail throughout the house.

Very cool place. High admission price, but the tour was very informative and much of the things youll see are true and authentic - some of it isnt. Great tour guide. Would go back in a few years to see if or what theyve updated more

One of the best preserved old historic mansions I have seen (and Ive seen more than a few!). They have given meticulous attention to detail and everything is very accurate and well explained by the very knowledgeable tour guide. Absolutely beautiful woodwork and hand painted wall coverings. Just stunning! And just enough history of the Pabst family to inform but not bore. The only complaint we have is that our tour guide really rushed us from room to room and refused to give you any time to look or take photos at all when she was done with her explanation of the room. We really felt like we had to look really fast and rush to the next part. We left feeling a little bit dazed and wanting more. The tour was just over an hour; we felt another half an hour would have been plenty of time to take away that rushed feeling. Overall, though, totally worth the time and money and visit to a not-so-nice part of town. Beautiful place!

Definitely worth a visit and you will learn something new with every tour! See the house decorated for Christmas if you can!!

This mansion tour was really fun and interesting. They have spent an unbelievable amount of time and money into its restoration. The admission price was fair and the guide did a great job. She was a little old lady who knew literally everything about the mansion and made sure the large group I was a part of was included and comfortable. I would definitely recomend this if you like mansion tours.

Great Wisconsin history,a must see, and learn,.

Hubby and I have gone here a couple years at Christmas season. The volunteers are so knowledgeable they have every room decked out for Christmas it’s just gorgeous and you learn a lot of history

I really enjoyed my tour at the Pabst Mansion. The building was extremely unique, and it was fascinating to learn about its history.

Christmas at the Pabst Mansion is beautiful! Love the decorations. Interesting history.

Absolutely an incredible piece of history! Well worth the time to go. Tour is very informative and the price is reasonable. Definitely a must see!

Cool building with great history.

Very interesting tour of a beautiful mansion. Docent was very knowledgeable.

Way cool...unbelievable craftsmanship...no cordless tools used in this build...your guides are just full of knowledge of the building and the family a must see

Tha History is fascinating! It was so interesting to see how the privileged lived during that time! The craftmanship of that time is astounding! We were in AWE! Our guide was superb as well! Go see this if youre in the area! I still think back on it!

Great Piece of History, on a side note, I bought this piece of china there and recently broke the handle...where can I find a replacement ?

First time being there and it was beautiful. The trees was so beautifully decorated with so many details.

Really cool piece of Milwaukee history. The house itself is truly artisan and the knowledge of the staff makes this tour worth while. I am not a huge history buff but I really enjoyed this house

Such a beautifully decorated home. It takes you back into history.

Interesting and informative museum. Admission price was a little too high, but its worth seeing once.

We took a group of our family on this tour today. We had 11 people in all including a small child. We were less than impressed by some of the staff. First off after paying for our family to go at $24 a piece, we got placed in a group of an additional 11 people. This made it crowded and hard to hear what the tour guide was sayIng and to fully enjoy the tour. Then when our child was getting crabby and we left the group to stand directly outside the room the group was in with our child so he wouldn’t interrupt the tour, we were rudely addressed by another tour guide and to “go back to our group” and she said, “I’m starting another tour here”. The tour group she had was 2 people! These tour groups should be smaller in number so that everyone can enjoy the tour. And all staff members should address people with respect and kindness.

The architecture and design is amazing. I wish craftsmanship like that still existed today. The docent was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot. The gift shop has cute gifts like a beer can candle and beer soap. I would definitely recommend.

A nice mansion worth the visit. Only guided tours were allowed, so we had to wait about 30 minutes. But the guide was knowledgeable and had a great time.

Home to milvaukee pioneer brewing family

Great place. Highly recommend stopping here

Great tour! I loved the guided tour, my family not so much. They like to do at on pace. I like the history you learn from the guided.

We ended up catching the last tour of the day and there was just my husband and I and another couple. I am not going to lie, I didnt want to go, but my husband really wanted to. However, during and after the tour, I really appreciated that we went. It was VERY informative and a really amazing mansion. I highly recommend attending the tour and wearing comfortable shoes as some details in the house is explained that one will miss if you have no prior knowledge of the mansion. Alongside the tour guide, they explain almost every piece of the house along with some stories/history that has occurred. I asked if the mansion is haunted and got a Not really haunted. Enjoy!

I think our tour guide may have been new because I could tell she was trying to remember all of her information. This made her a little awkward and her jokes fall flat. The house itself is impressive, especially given its historical context within the city, but I just couldnt get over our tour guide.

Very good example of state of the art housing in the latter 19th century. Exotic wood paneling and trim different in every room. Very knowledgeable tour guide.

This is SO worth seeing

Our guide was so informative and the mansion is gorgeous. It was a wonderful step back in time with both the setting and the stories. Highly recommend..

The history is amazing, the preservation of this mansion is outstanding. Tours are very reasonable. Definitely a must stop!

Go during holiday season - each room is decorated for the season.

The history and architecture was amazing. We had an excellent tour guide that was very knowledgeable. It is such a beautiful building.

Amazing look into the history of our cities affluent citizens and how they lived

Great place beautiful Mansion. It takes about 75 mins and its a guided tour. Well worth if you have the time!

Great and interesting tour to learn the history of mr. pabst and his family and house in America. they are in the process of restoring peices in several rooms, I would give it the 5th star after restoration is complete.

Absolutely loved this tour!! Very knowledgeable tour guide with a sense of humor. If you love historical places this should definitely be on your list of places to see in Milwaukee!

Well what can i say that others havent lol. We were lucky and had a really private tour on a slow day at the end of May. Lovely tour guide who clearly loved the home and what she did. Very informative, cant wait for the atrium to be restored to the way it was when moved from the Worlds Fair original location and before the church got ahold of it. It is very exciting to see all the works in motion here. The home itself is fantastic and inspirational.. what a great place this must of been to grow up, the best it could of been for the times with electricity and utilities and kitchen. Great place do drop in and take a visit if you have opportunity.

Beautiful! I will definitely be going back to take more friends and family. I learn something new everytime!

Beautifully decorated. A great start to the season.

Unique Christmastrees topped with inventive treetops dazzled me.

Nice unguided tour of the mansion decorated for x-mas
