We did the garden and house tour. I would recommend them both but you should get there when they open to get into the tours. I also found the tours give you alot of info in a short hour. I noted that you can just donate what you want to pay if you can't afford the fee. Then you can go back after the tours to see what you missed. The grounds are really pretty and don't miss the greenhouses with the orchids. I wasn't impressed by the food so bring food and drinks. Also you can probably tour the grounds without paying a fee. I would like to return in the spring

Absolutely wonderful place. I could have easily spent 2 full days here. We spent 75 minutes just admiring all the amazing orchids in the greenhouses. We took the house tour, and it was definitely very informative and orienting. The gardens tour was not offered the day we were there, probably because there was a threat of thunderstorms when it would normally happen. Instead they did a cutting garden tour; the people in our group who were avid home gardeners (everyone by my husband and I) seemed to really get into the discussions of how to plant for ongoing blooms, etc. So many beautiful pieces in the home, and so many beautiful flowers in the greenhouses and gardens that we ran out of time in the five hours we were there. We went to the US Botanic Gardens (next to the Capitol) earlier in our trip, and this was a million times better (and way less crowded). Highly, highly recommend for adults who want to gaze at beautiful things; it would probably bore kids and teens to tears.

I cannot praise it enough. We take all our friends there when they come. Wilhelmina is the best guide. Watch and listen. Look for the Faberge Raster eggs. Take the Mansion and the Gardens tour.

My husband and I spent about 4 hours at Hillwood today, including two docent-guided tours, lunch in the Merriwether Cafe, and time on our own exploring the greenhouse and grounds. It was a wonderful experience. The property is kept beautifully manicured and spring is the perfect time to visit. All staff we interacted with were professional and knowledgeable. Pandemic safety requirement of masking was enforced, and we were thankful for the management's attention to keeping guests safe.
Kudos to our garden docent, Jenny, who took just the two of us on a lovely, informative, and personal tour. She clearly loves what she does, adding interesting information from her own reading and research. As a docent at a historic house in Los Angeles, I know the time it takes to prepare for your shift and to make the guest experience memorable. Our mansion docent, Paula, was also extremely knowledgeable and well-trained. The collection is jaw-dropping, and the peak into the admirable life of Post was interesting.
We also enjoyed our lunch at the on-site cafe where the service was very good and the food tasty. Being able to eat "outside" in the tent was important to us during the never-ending pandemic.
All in all, highly recommend this beautiful, historic estate.

The dream of Marjorie Post, heir to the C.W. Post fortune. We got a guided tour of both the gardens and the house. The guides were engaging and knowledgeable. The onsite Merriweather Cafe isn't just snacks: it's a fine dining experience al fresco, with delicious entrees.

Extraordinary collection of pre Russian artworks, porcelain and silverware. The gardens are absolutely gorgeous and extremely well maintained. Was lucky to visit end of April so all trees and azaleas were blooming. A must do while in DC. Also the museum cafe was of excellent quality

The name popped up when I was looking on what to do whilst visiting Washington DC.
I did not know much about the estate and what it has within it until the day we arrived there and we were greeted by a very pleasant lady that works in visitors centre, and she explained briefly the origins of the house and the stuff exhibited within it and advised for us to take time and watch a short movie that was being shown.
If it is a first time you are visiting Hillwood estate, I would definitely recommend watching it.
The house itself is stunning - there are few beautiful collections in terms of jewellery, porcelain sets, you can inspect all of those quite close up which is not the case in some of the other estate homes we have visited.
The gardens are even more spectacular - it is definitely worth visiting the Japanese garden and the orchids green house.
There is no entry fee as such - they will suggest amount you can chose to pay (or not) to support the maintenance of the estate.
It is an absolute must - I would definitely recommend a visit to this place.

We had an excellent tour of the indoors at Hillwood, featuring Russian porcelain, and two Faberge eggs. Many interesting stories. I especially liked the small room with an old-fashioned permanent wave machine, which looked like a torture device (and probably was).
I visited in April, and my favorite part was the beautiful gardens in full bloom. Some of the most spectacular grounds I've ever seen, and beautifully maintained. The Japanese Garden surpassed anything I had seen in Japan.

Beautiful and HERstorical visit. This is not to be missed. The house has some rare collections and the gardens are exquisite. A movie needs to be made about the fascinating life of Marjorie Merriweather Post.

Any suggestions for large groups? Has anyone had the experience of going with a group 25+ to visit the gardens? Interested in logistics (seating, general capacity/visitation, etc.) more than purchasing tickets. Is there a limit for number of tickets sold a day?

There are limited tickets per day but they handle tours of the grounds and exhibits for groups of 15 or so...

If you don’t want to book online in advance, how do you contribute the donation? Is there a donation box on the way in or out? Can you donate any amount or will you get the side eye for donating less than the recommended?

Since there is a an admission fee, I did not see any problem with not donating, it's up to your discretion.

How easy is it to get here? Can you take public transportation from downtown DC? How much would the cab be approximately?

I don’t believe public transportation is available that would get you very close to the estate. We used Lyft from our hotel on Pennsylvania Ave. I believe the cost was about $40 for 3 adults one way. It’s also important for the driver to have directions available on the estate web site as the road splits near the estate and it’s easy to pass it. It’s in a residential area beyond Rock Creek Park about 25 minutes from downtown.

Parking is definitely available at Hillwood, but it’s a pretty small lot. The attendant “created” a space for me, though. Free to park.

Is there an organised tour company that departs from DC or surrounds that will take you to Hillwood?

Sorry, I am not familiar with individual tour companies around D.C. However, I know there are tons of public transit options within the City. You can get there by bus and Metro rail. The address is 4155 Linnean Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008. The Hillwood Museum website gives both driving directions and options for public transit. Or, look for Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority for transit maps and transit systems.
