The flowers were everywhere, in bloom, and it was handicapped accessible for most of the gardens. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

We usually don't make it to the Cape during the good weather, but had to go to a conference, and this was on our way. It does things on a small scale, but does them well, so it doesn't exhaust your day, and there is enough variety so there will be something for everyone. The landscaping and gardens are, of... More

This is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever been to - helped by the rhododendrons being in bloom, but then at other times of year you will see Hydrangeas and other plants. And to add to that, they also have a (small) car museum showing historic cars, which they replace with new collections fairly frequently (not sure... More

This was a serendipitous find for us, as we didn't make plans to visit Sandwich. It was a very pleasant surprise. Beautifully kept, spacious gardens. Beautiful carousel horses as well. We took peaceful walks in the gardens. The Cafe was very crowded at lunch time. There were limited seats available, although there were picnic tables/benches nearby. We were fortunate it... More

Lots of great walking trails on this property, some are paved, and lots to see. My husband and I loved the car museum and the chance to be outdoors in a beautifully landscaped area with wooded trails-----2 of our favorite things. There are lots of great attractions for kids (treehouse and carousel) as well. When we were there in early... More

My husband and I usually race up to Provincetown from Connecticut, and we're so glad we finally took time to stop and "smell the roses" at Heritage this month. We visited beautifully kept stunning grounds with graceful, meandering paths. We enjoyed the special exhibit, Driving Our Dreams: Imagination in Motion which is on view through October 2013. The American Art... More
