My husband and i visited Flagler Museum (Whitehall) today and found it to be quite charming, especially when taken on a tour with only one other couple by a volunteer docent who had many stories to share to make it all understandable. i love history, so this was just my style. Enjoyed the upstairs although it was a self-guided tour... more

I've visited lots of houses in Florida -- Viscasya, Ringling -- and if you like visiting houses, this is one to see. We had read about Henry Flagler & were in awe of him so his house & the Palm Beach lifestyle he created were an important part of local history and charm. The amenities of the house were breaking... more

For $30 for two, the Flagler Museum is a must-see stop. Travel back into Florida's grand past by touring Whitehall, Flagler's gift to his third and last wife. We have been to Flagler College, another Flagler hotel, but Whitehall is not to be missed. Each room is dedicated to a different time period -- classical Rome, English Tutor, American Colonial,... more

Wonderful old mansion that gives a glance into the Plam Beach of the early 20th century. Everything has been preserved and is in excellent condtion. Tickets are $15.00 but the view of the water is worth it. more

We just visited the Flagler Museum, and we were fearful that the 95 degree heat would wilt us all. Not to worry, the mansion is completely air-conditioned, and worth every minute you spend there. If you have visted the mansions of Newport RI, Flager's how will seem similar- although you see more of the behind the scenes. We took the... more

Although pricey for us at $15 per ticket, the museum/mansion is a fascinating place to see. Other than the Biltmore House, there are few places we've been quite like this. Its palatial size rooms and decor are a testimony to extravagance. For those who enjoy touring homes, this is a must see! more

Wow- Incredible. "Whitehall" as the house is called, was the summer retreat for Henry Flagler, the railroad tycoon and founder of Standard oil who is generally credited as the original developer of Florida who built tracks from Jacksonville all the way to Key West. The house itself is a masterpiece full of history and antiques. Be sure to allow at... more

Do not take young children or older grandparents here - it is NOT user friendly. No strollers (or even diaper bags!) allowed --but baby bjorns are. Not many places to rest weary legs. Only food available is a "tea" requiring advance reservations and $18. Actual content on the audio guides is good - if you're not too busy chasing your... more

If you have young children and want to visit this museum, I suggest you choose another. No strollers are allowed and no bags are allowed through the entrance. Also, there is a complementary audio tour - if it happens to be a busy day, plan on a wait (anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes) to obtain the audio tour device.... more

My husband and I made a spur-of-the-moment stop at this museum during an extensive road trip in July 2004 around the perimeter of the State of Florida. Besides Bok Tower, which is a must see if you like "Old Florida," Whitehall turned out to be a favorite stop. The museum was so beautiful and very interesting. The guided tour is... more
