The house tour was very interesting - not so much though for our 6 year old.
The garden tour was more her speed.  There are picnic areas there as well so
you can bring your own lunch.

The garden tour was really beautiful, especially because we just went at our own pace.  There were artists that were very friendly to 10 year olds and the whole thing taken in with the house was lovely.
