Old Westbury Gardens

What a beautiful setting and walk through the grounds! Pure nature and magnificence. Such a historical place with character, art, stature - I can see why it’s a museum now! Love how it’s been preserved. A must say if in the area. I went with my best friend 2 weeks ago and we were in awe the whole time walking through the mansion and grounds, garden, pond, etc.

Hello, my name is Gordon. I’m an established photographer in the Nassau area. I recently did a shoot at the beautiful and iconic Old Westbury Gardens. First, I would like to say that the professionalism of the staff was 5/5 — they were extremely helpful and did not disappoint on the day of the shoot.

The location was lovely; from the scenic views to the beautifully potted flowers, I must say that pictures don’t do it justice — you need to see it for yourself. Here are some shots from the shoot. I hope you like them ❤️

If you need a photographer please feel free to contact me 💯🤗

Beautiful mansion, so much history inside. It Was built for the Phipps family. So much land, so much trees, plants and birds. The yard has 2 pools, one of them is huge, huge. There's a lake and pond with gold fishes, statues and plenty benches to sit on as you take in the wonderful site. I would say though that the outside needs a little tlc like the pool/fountain closest to the house the water is very murky,with huge amounts of leaves in it.
The inside of the mansion has wonderful furnishings and has been well cared for.
The guided tour was very informative, really enjoyed it.
So much to say about this place, its wonderful part of history.

Today we visited the old Westbury gardens, we bought our tickets in advance (recommended)
We arrived and immediately were welcomed by friendly staff. The first person I approached (we had a bag which were weren't aware is not allow) was Kenny Cleare.
He offered to store our bag, free of charge. Secondly we met Joan who gave us a house tour. She has so much knowledge, and speaks with so much passion. You don't want her to stop talking.
Everything in this house is an antique, beautiful and expensive.
The history is so interesting.
Kenny, I want to say Thank You for being so humble and so extremely friendly and helpful. We will never forget you. I pray that one day you will experience Cape Town, South Africa as your sister did. You will have an amazing experience.
We were honored to meet you and Joan today. The amount of joy and passion you have for your work incredible.
God Bless and we hope to see you soon , when we're back on Long Island, NY

Old Westbury Gardens is such a beautiful spot! The mansion and the grounds are absolutely stunning, and it feels like stepping into another time. The gardens are really well kept, and there are so many different areas to explore. The Mansion history is really neat too. You can easily spend a few hours or all day just wandering.

It’s peaceful, relaxing, and also great for photos. The staff are friendly, and the whole place has a really welcoming feel. Our curator was amazing too.

It’s a perfect for a walk, a picnic, or just a quiet day out.
