This is truly one of the most amazing examplea of Tudor architecture, on the planet. 64,000 sq. ft. and almost everything is original!
The construction; the attention to detail; the craftsmanship - You could visit 50 times and find something new, every time.
I highly recommend any event that's held here. The extra access tours, the holiday lights (especially when you add the dinner ticket), the Father's Day car show - You will be so glad that you did. It's well worth the money and it goes towards improving the property. That's a true win-win.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 8, 2023
Stan Hywett Hall and Gardens has become one of my favorite places to visit throughout the year. My husband and I went the other night for their yearly Deck the Hall event, which never disappoints. The estate is illuminated with over 1 million holiday lights. While this year there wasn't live music during the inside tour of the mansion, some years there is and that's a real treat. Staff is always on hand to give interesting history facts and a juicy scoop or two . At this event, gingerbread cookies, soft pretzels and beverages are for sale and Santa is there for the little ones. This event is perfect for families or a romantic holiday outing.

Visited today for the first time and it was gorgeously decorated for the holidays. We enjoyed our self guided tour. We visited the manor, conservatory and then got a slice of pie and cocoa at the cafe

Beautiful grounds and buildings were on full holiday display when we visited. The buildings had fabulous decorations and the style of the homes was amazing. Small details like hand carved doors and finished woodwork in virtually every room.
Even the outdoor decorations were great. The tours were a bit pricey to visit every Christmas, but everyone in our group enjoyed the tour.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Drew B.OH, OH3156424Jun 25, 2023
This place is simply breath taking! 65,000 sq ft of pure turn of the century wealth. The "castle"/home is a museum with about 95% original furniture, tapestries and artwork. Simply amazing tour and the botanical gardens were nice as well!

Outstanding way to get into the Christmas spirit. We went a little before 5 pm before it got really busy. It was a special treat to go through the Conservatory and walk the grounds. There were blue and purple poinsettia for sale in the Conservatory, something I've never seen. All the lights were fantastic.

Stan Hywet is very nice grounds to visit in the fall. Their decor is always beautiful. We visit every year. The tour is nice to do because they go into the back rooms which are not available on just a walk through, and they give you history of the owners which makes you feel a connection when you are there.

Came here for the first time to see Deck the Hall. So worth it! Rooms were decorated in the main manor house beautifully. So pretty and festive! The outside grounds were also amazing to see. Loved Dazzle!
Dazzle is a light show set to music.
Here are my recommendations so that you really get the most out of the experience. Buy tickets ahead of time online, go early, park in the lower lot and take the shuttle to the admission gate and start at the manor house first. There will be plenty of time to see the grounds after you walk through the manor house.
Highly recommend making Deck the Hall something you do each year. The staff and volunteers do an excellent job decorating the manor house and grounds.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Oct 15, 2022
Beautiful, historic...a real treasure in Akron. From the Manor House to the gardens and conservatory, there is much to see and enjoy here. The special events held throughout the year really highlight the wonderful aspects of this property. This is a must-see for visitors to Akron, and a great place for locals to join as members and serve as volunteers.
