Offered every Saturday & Sunday from June 1st to October 27th at 1:00 pm
Ringwood Manor is pleased to be able to offer a tour developed for children that's all about the Hewitt children!
This tour uses first-hand accounts from the Hewitt's son, Edward, to help younger visitors understand what it was like to spend summers at the estate 150 years ago with unusual pets, practical jokes, and the wacky hijinks of the Hewitt kids.
Designed to be fun and amusing, these tours are great for families and visitors of all ages!
At the conclusion of the tour, children are encouraged to try reproduction historic games and toys on the
front lawn of Ringwood Manor (weather permitting).
Child's Life Tour Admission FeesAdults: $10.00
Seniors (62 years +): $8.00 Children (ages 6-12): $5.00 Children (5 and under): Free We accept cash, credit, or check in person for payment. Sorry, we do not offer advanced online ticket sales for our Child's Life tours at this time. |
