This is a great museum full of some great Florida history and art. They have done a great job preserving the place. Everything looks so nice. All of the employees we encountered were friendly and helpful. They have it perfectly setup for social distancing.

So understand COVID downside but audio tour no longer provided. A bad Flagler Museum app (which, unless you carry earbuds around has another set of issues) that does not work more than it does or a boilerplate brochure is offered instead. If hearing impaired, no services. Tour is pretty much just walking around. Update your website and tell people what to expect before rather than after they have paid.

One of the most interesting museums Ive been to. It might be a bit pricy but absolutely worth it

It was empty the day we went, which was nice, only saw 2 other visitors the whole time we were there.

Never knew how much history there was in SFL until we visited here. Large collection filled with so much history that will impress even someone who has lived here their entire lives. Highly recommend even just to enjoy how beautiful the museum is.

Beautiful grounds with expertly maintained pieces and extensive historical collection. Absolutely loved walking through the exhibits. Due to covid19, you must buy your tickets in advance and enter at your designated time, masks required at all times. The staff were incredibly kind on the phone and on site.

Such a cool piece of art! open to the public all night i believe, you can go day or night, although i highly recommend night. we arrived around 11 and were quite surprised at how many other people were there, but i guess thats the time to go.

This is a splendid mansion and museum. I particularly liked the Room in which there were paintings above the doors and windows that depicted pastoral scenes of enjoyment. These encouraged themes of discussion that were casual and pleasant .This Room was meant for light hearted subjects . I believe Henry understood the need for mental hygiene given his experiences. Superlatives can only attempt to describe this heavenly place. You it must see it. Our docent showed command and warmth for her subject.

What a breathtaking place to visit. This is the very first museum I have ever visited and I was very happy that I got this opportunity. My first time coming to this museum was with my chorus at John I. Leonard Highschool. We performed at this museum during Christmas time as part of one of our performing/singing gigs. We sang “Hot Chocolate” Polar Express and we did outstanding. I always used to say this Musem resembled the White House. Truly beautiful.

The Henry Flagler museum is a fun location to visit while in West Palm Beach. They have the house well air conditioned and it is very nice to cooly enjoy history. The entrance is around $18 but sometimes they will have specials that let you come back for free or they have free days every now and then. They also host events at the hall and you can contact the business section for more information. Their gift shop has some nice Florida history pieces and books. The rooms and history has been well preserved and is a good 45 minute to 75 minute self toured location.

This museum is well worth the price! The history and amazing rooms in the mansion are all worth the time. 2 pics are of Mr Faglers private train car.

Don’t waste your vacation dollars here!! The employees are very unfriendly and this is highly overrated. I Have a service dog and the man at the front entrance stated “no dogs allowed “ We explained the circumstance with my disability and this highly uneducated and rude individual actually told me they only allow service dogs if you’re in a wheelchair!!!! Moments later the manager tried to argue that the museum is ADA compliant and nothing could be further from the truth. They are cruel, arrogant and hateful people.After a frustrating ordeal and no apology from the manager I got a refund and left. The manager had no conflict resolution skills and did not attempt to resolve the issue whatsoever.They really are not interested in sharing the legacy of Mr. Flagler and his family but rather a wedding venue—-however I certainly wouldn’t waste my money as there are so many more beautiful places in southern Florida for a memorable wedding. You and your guests don’t need to be treated like second-class citizens.Ironically we were the only visitors at the museum and it was no surprise after finding out how rude employees are at the Flagler museum.Don’t waste the $18 per person to deal with these hateful people—maybe they’ll have a disability someday and understand what it’s like to be treated like this . It was absolutely horrible And cruel

A great place to visit when touring West Palm! Amazing architecture & design, & so much history!

Very relevant historyLots to learnBeautiful architectureFascinating to see real documents from Thomas Edison and Standard OilVery beautiful greenhouse with cafe and train carBE HERE

Booo. Hiss for their online-only ticket purchase process. EVERY stupid fill-in box was mandatory, asking questions that are none of their business. Booo! Hisss!

This was a wonderful experience for myself and my three daughters (12,9,7). Due to covid you must buy your tickets in advance and go at your choosen time but that actually made it better! We felt like we had the entire place to ourselves! The staff was very friendly and everything is amazingly maintained.

Gorgeous mansion, tons of impressions, a must see! Audio guide is very helpful and provides an amazing information not only about the place but also about life and customs of those times. Came there at 3:30 pm on Friday, there were just a few people in the whole building. Enjoyed my time and solitude being able to pay attention to all details of the interior.Also very comfortable temperature inside and the cleanest restrooms.

Superb museum. Absolutely gorgeous property, chock full of beautiful art and sculptures, and meticulously maintained. Theres so much to see, and everyone who worked there was so nice. Definitely worth the price of admission. (Side note: if you come from the gulf coast, Flagler Museum makes Edison Estates look like garbage)

Fantastic day at the museum! I highly recommend spending a few hours here to learn about the history of the Henry Flagler Estate. This place is extraordinary. The house is fabulous! The entrance fee is very reasonable. The audio tour is free. Parking is free. Well worth your time!

A must-see in the region! See how the 0.001% lived! The room you would have if your house too was 60 000sqf! Our guide was great at bringing the place to life with her vivid description of the house and its history. It’s not a cheap visit but the place is beautifully maintained and is quite worth your while.

This house from the Gilded period was saved from being demolished and has been wonderfully restored before being turned into a museum.

Perfect family afternoon!

Great history lesson. Loved the detail and craftsmanship.

We love this museum and the rotating exhibits. The guided docent tours are excellent, and there is one in particular who is actually a historian who tells some incredible stories of how people lived when this beautiful home was built. We take all of our visitors here to show them the gilded old age of Florida.

Last Mothers day at the Museum: Henry Morrison Flagler Museum one of the most beautiful homes and greatest houses museum in United States. Spectacular. I just loved going back again.

Such an amazing part of south Florida history !! You could spend hours admiring the attention to detail that has been achieved when building this house !! Originally a house bought by Henry Flagler for his wife as her summer home is now is a beautiful museum !!

We visited the museum while on vacation to West Palm at Christmastime. We spent much longer at the museum than anticipated because it was such a great visit. We took a guided tour with a docent which made the experience even better. They were also offering seasonal Gilded Age high tea in the pavilion. The food and drinks were worth the money. The only suggestion is to allow patrons to pay after the meal to include a tip if paying by card. Tipping could only be done with cash (which we rarely carry on us). The mansion and railcar are beautifully restored. Definitely worth the time and money.

This place is AMAZING if you in the area you have to stop in and check out all the great history White Hall has to offer.... for being a place his wife wanted by the beach not bad for a little cottage she got so much more its 18 per person easily spend 2 to 3 hours here

I paddled around the front with Salty Dog Paddle - such a cool view! I can;t wait to go inside once the stay home order is lifted

What a beautiful estate to honor the man who made Florida what it is today. Drive around Palm Beach and enjoy the neighborhood as well.

A must go for visitors to know the history of palm beach. The place is great and you can see lots of collections and lifestyle from the 19-20 century.

Incredible museum in Palm Beach. I was aware of Flagler College in St. Augustine but the size and opulence just blew me away. The self-guided tour using the phone and map was easy to follow and very informative. I may come back to do the combined Flagler Museum and Breakers tour. It was that good.

Nice Museum. In a great location. Good history and well worth the trip. The self guided tour was very good. The one thing I would change is the guided tour. The guide takes you to the first room and then spoke for 45 minutes straight. Your standing the whole time. My older relatives had a hard time standing for 45 minutes. We left the tour. They should spend maybe 5 to 10 minutes per room. Keep the people moving. Also they had about 40 people in one group. They should have maybe 15 people tops

It was good. Kids enjoyed it, especially the railcar. Very family friendly.

Amazing experience if you like learning the culture and history of one of the most significant Real Estate developers in the Saint Augustine and Palm Beach area.Beautiful day, amazing history.

Must see this gorgeous house and learn the history of Henry Flagler’s success and philanthropy. He developed Florida to become an economic leader and tourist destination. Lovely setting and unbelievably well restored. Wonderful tour by Ron Vaughn. Make sure you see the private rail car - it’s older than the house and is located in the pavilion.

Really beautifully restored period house, similar to many National Trust properties in the UK.The house is really eclectic in its style, with each room following a different, typically European, trend.Theres also a lovely path alongside the marina which we took from the museum car park.Well worth stopping off to see a bit of Florida history.

A very nice place to learn about enthusiastic men and their habits. Go there and be inspired by a man who made it up to a multi billionaire. By the way the house he build is the finest.

What a place. Reminded us of Vizcaya but not as flashy.

A beautiful Gilded Age mansion that is a treasure trove and fascinating glimpse into a bygone time.

Absolutely great place . What a beautiful mansion located in West Palm Beach . You should see this museum. It’s worth it every penny.

Great museum to visit to learn about the history of Henry Flagler in Palm Beach. Takes about 1-2 hours to go through. A must see.

It’s amazing to have such an important piece of Florida history so lovingly preserved like the Flagler museum. It’s so much fun to explore the building and learn about the history. The entryway is massive and really demonstrates the vast displays of wealth at the time.

If you enjoy historical or architectural places Id highly recommend spending an afternoon here. At a leisurely place, I spent three hours here and felt like I saw everything.I highly recommend the iPhone app- the self guided tour on the app was really really good.

A beautiful Gilded Age mansion (1902) on 5 acres. An absolute must-see.

This is a great museum, a wonderful tour and a good value at $18.00 per person. Well worth the trip.

Beautiful museum with lots of priceless art and history. The guided tour is a must for 1st time visitors.

Gorgeous wedding venue and wonderful place to visit! A Palm Beach treasure!

Gorgeous spot for locals and tourists alike! I visited here first on a field trip as a child and just visited for the second time the other day! It’s just as grand and beautiful as I remembered it! The admission is completely worth the experience, they have guided group tours you can take or they have the self-guided audio tours if you want to move around the museum at your own leisure!

Amazing part of Florida and the Countries history. Thoroughly enjoyed!

If you like history and opulence, be sure to tour this winter home. It’s beautiful. The listening device, self-guided tour was not only a great way to see the home and hear about different rooms and pieces in each room, but also the lifestyle of the rich back in that day of grandeur.

This was a mind stretching experience. For a house built in the gilded age, the opulence and level of technology is amazing.Our tour guide was a gentle man that gave the most detailed yet entertaining insight into the construction, events and lifestyle of the Flaglers.Its good to know your purpose in life.

Beautiful historical place. We hitched onto a tour guide for part of it and she really offered some interesting history and detail of Flagler’s life.

A beautiful museum of history and make sure you have the afternoon tea. It was delicious.

Unforgettable visit!!!This museum is a must-see for anyone visiting West Palm Beach.Admission as of July 2019 is $18 per person and it is worth every penny.The mansion is in impeccable shape and it is gorgeous.Self-guided audio tours are provided in a variety of languages, which made my parents’ tour a great experience. The museum also offers a docent-led tour a few times a day, as well as self-guided reading tour.We left the place in total amazement with the artwork, history and ingenuity.

Great museum, Flagler was father of Florida, must see

Its free and the people that work there are really nice. Great place to visit if youre on a budget or not.

Nice museum - a must go if you are in the palm beach area

Mike, a tour guide, is excellent. The handouts explaining the rooms are very good. The home and grounds are beautiful. Spent 4 hours here and could have used 2 more.

My husband and I toured the museum on a whim during a vacation recently, and it was probably my favorite excursion we took during our week. The tour size and guide were perfect. Very enjoyable and worth the money! Would go back again with friends / family. Strolling along the water afterward is a nice treat.

Best tea service in West Palm Beach. Pink lemonade and the scones tasted homemade. Only gripe is they should have brought a tea selection box. Also the brownie was a little dry.

The most opulent home Ive seen aside from European castles! Highly recommend if any interest in historic homes. A must see!

The tour was very entertaining, the rest of the museum was not quite as entertaining.

This is an amazing house! It is great to see the past in a beautiful decoration and furniture. I loved this place!

Very nice Museum to visit in Florida

Amazing. We arrived on opening day of a wonderful jewelry exhibit. Dazzling

Whats amazing display of Florida and American history featuring The gilded age. Our tour guide was absolutely lovely and a very knowledgeable story teller. Cant wait to take the kids next time.

Interesting place, very well maintained and presented. Would have liked a bit more balanced presentation of the cons (as well as the pros) of the Gilded Age. Nevertheless, a fascinating insight into the lifestyles of the Rich & Famous of 1902, and a very pleasant way to spend 1.5 In WPB.

This is such a beautiful place! The staff are very friendly and informative. It was so cool to see all the different historicaly peices that they have in their collection. It was educational and the gift shop was awesome. A little on the high side price wise but worth it in the end. Highly recommend a visit.

Hows a fabulous house! Walked into the museum, I felt back to 19 century. Although I visited on a rainy day, I still got lot of fun over here.

Beautiful exhibits of the time period. Where would Florida be today if not fir Henry Flagler! Then take a pleasant walk along Lake Worth from the museum.

Lots of information, historic, friendly staff and very pretty property.

My friend and I went to the Flagler Museum yesterday for a tour and High Tea. We had our High Tea first, it was a joke!!!!!! The tray consisted of little pieces of nothing, scones so sugary, they tasted like they were microwaved, no cream or butter to go with them. The waitress said the scones were so buttery we would not need them!! Hello!! This was hysterical. We were starving, THEN, to top it off no selection of Tea, except black tea, (tasted like Lipton Tea to us)!! Please, I cannot overstate the disappointment we had expierenced! Never again for eating anything there!! Tourist trap!! The tour was great, that I must say, then after, we ended up eating out, we were starving!! $40.00!!! What a joke!! I have been to many High Teas through the years, never have I endured such a pathetic imitation of High Tea!!! Skip it if all possible!!

Very interesting museum with beautiful furnishings and history. Enjoyed the audio tour . We could go at our own pace. Would highly recommend this tour.

I love museums!!!.Awesome history of one of the first pioneers of south Florida!!.

I was under the impression that this was an art museum, it did have art, but it is instead a very fancy historic house. A lot of cool history is here and you can take a tour or just walk around yourself with an audio tour remote.

We visited for the Christmas tree lighting today. They also had carolers, pipe organ and piano performances along with gingerbread cookies and eggnog. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The museum is well worth the visit alone but today made for a joyful start to the Christmas season.

This museum was built as the private home of Henry Flagler as a gift for his third wife and was intended from the start to someday be a museum. Built in the gilded age, this home compares to the Vanderbilts Biltmore Home in Asheville, albeit on a much smaller scale. You can go room to room and get a sense not only of how the Flaglers lives but of notions and customs of the day. When we visited, there was an art exhibit on the second floor -- this one devoted to harem culture in turn-of-the-century middle east, a subject of some of the artwork in Flaglers collection. I think admission was $18. There is no food but a nice gift shop. A worthwhile activity leading to a greater sense of the history of our area.

Marvelous! Dining room is newly restored as it had looked during Flagler s residence at Whitehall. Work in progress..very nice! Holiday decorations perfect!

What a truly stunning place! Hard to comprehend the amount of detail that was put into every single part of that building and property.

Awesome experience. Learned a lot about a man and his family during the Industrial revolution and the building of the railroads that changed America.

Whitehall is a 75-room Gilded Age mansion open to the public in Palm Beach, Florida in the United States. Completed in 1902, it is a major example of neoclassical Beaux Arts architecture designed by Carrère and Hastings for Henry Flagler, a leading captain of industry in the late 19th century, and a leading developer of Florida as a tourist destination. The building is listed a National Historic Landmark. It now houses the Flagler Museum, named after its builder. Henry Flagler, one of the founders of Standard Oil, built Whitehall for his third wife, Mary Lily Kenan.The site of the home was purchased for $50,000 in 1893 (as of 2010 that would be $1,197,562.39) by Flagler; later surveyed for construction in July 1900 and the home completed in time for Flagler and his wife to move in on February 6, 1902. The architects were Carrère and Hastings, who had earlier designed the Ponce de Leon Hotel and several other buildings in St. Augustine for Flagler. Whitehall was to be a winter residence, and Henry gave it to Mary Lily as a wedding present. They would travel to Palm Beach each year in one of their own private railcars, one of which was No. 91.Flagler died of injuries sustained in falling down a flight of marble stairs at Whitehall in 1913, at the age of 83. Mary Lily died four years later, and the home was devised to her niece Louise Clisby Wise Lewis, who sold the property to investors. They constructed a 300-room, ten-story addition to the west side of the building, obliterating Mr. Flaglers offices, the housekeepers apartment, and altering the original kitchen and pantry area. Carrere and Hastings were the architects of the 1925 reconstruction. In 1939 it was described as a $4,000,000 building and Palm Beachs second-largest hotel.In 1959, the site was saved from demolition by one of Henry Flaglers granddaughters Jean Flagler Matthews. She established the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum non-profit corporation, which purchased the building in 1959, opening it as a museum in 1960. The upper ten stories of the hotel addition were demolished in 1963 in preparing the museum for the public.Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Flagler Museum, featuring guided tours, changing exhibits, and special programs. It also hosts a variety of local galas and balls throughout the year. The Museum is located at Cocoanut Row and Whitehall Way, Palm Beach.

Worth a visit, inside and outside.During lunch time, there is an option for a so-called afternoon tea as it is unfortunately served, without the indispensable clotted cream, but which on the other hand, comes with a bad sound system composed of a single speaker, screaming distorted opera music in the background. That being said, beautiful room and views.MISSING: benches outside fences, while we are waiting for our ride. Absolutely no place to seat whatsoever. Unacceptable.

Beautiful grounds and scenery. Very interesting and lovely rooms from the 1920’s

Full of history!! Absolutely stunning!

Beautiful mansion and grounds located on the waters edge. Has a seperate building that houses fully furnished railcars. Also, there is a room upstairs that has changing exhibits. Just FYI, they dont accept Discover card and theres no senior discounts.

I went on a school trip and thought it was amazing! Just a little humid.

If you’re looking for something to do in WPB and you’re a museum buff, then this will do it for you. It’s funny how something like this would have bored me to the death as a child but as an adult I can appreciate the art of history and how times have evolved over time. Cool spot.

Everything in marvelous condition. Self-tour well done and interesting. Very enjoyable.

Very nice cultural visit

What an amazing jem of history! It was like walking on to the set of Great Gatsby. Beautiful things to look at and it teaches you a lot about the early history of Florida.

Interesting place to visit. Beautiful antiques, paintings, and other things. The train car was just like it had been long ago.

Great tour guide, very knowledgeable. The house is beautifully furnished. A wonderful visit.

Very expensive for the amount of things you are able to see. However, if you are able to do the tour and walk around you can easily get several hours worth. A must visit if you are in Palm Beach.

For anyone interested in history, the Flagler Museum is a must see. The museum offers a view back to Americas Guilded Age when someone of modest means, such as Henry Flagler, could wind up as one of the worlds wealthiest people. The museum is tended to by a friendly, professional staff. The $18 admission fee is well worth it. Parking is free.

The Valentines Day Tea brunch was awesome. The museum was okay. No strollers of backpacks though.

The museum was absolutely elegant. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of the Flagler family in what use to be their winter home. Dont miss having tea in the tea room looking out Intracoastal.

A must see trip to the area. The home and museum is world class in so many aspects. The audio tour was comprehensive and insightful conveying the insight to objects and rooms as well as its culturally attributes. Hats off to the curator who put this outstanding tour together. We must preferred this way of self pace and in depth approach to the visit. The house is perfectly maintained and the grounds are manicured too. The Gilded Age is brought back to life in the 21 St Century.

Outstanding artistic architecture, room replicas/preservation, including decor, clothing, dishes, cookware, inner courtyard, original paintings, all well displayed, with excellent historical information and great recorded guide, and guided tours are available.

Never been inside the museum but the grounds around it are beautiful to walk around. Use to be better kept. They’ve let the grass grow wild which makes for some nice photography but it’s starting to look unkept. It’s a shame they gated off the iconic Kapok tree. Seems everything in palm beach county needs some sort of fee to access it. Smh.The trail is still nice to walk and the view by the museum and water is still picturesque.
