My fiancé and I had a great experience having out engagement photoshoot here. Jackie responded quickly and we were able to coordinate with our photographer on the first date we picked. I have many memories going to Sands Point Preserve growing up. I miss the Medieval festival that used to come through every year. When I was a child they had an animatronic dinosaur exhibit in the main building. My family used to come for these and to walk on the trail to the beach. When I got older I came with my dog. Now my fiancé and I go for picnics. He has memories from when he was younger too. It's a beautiful location.
Joseph, the docent, was amazing and knowledgeable about the history of the land & the buildings. He made it fun & we didn't want the tour to end!
When I first rescued my dog this was one of the 1st places I thought him. He immediately fell into the swampy area along the trails lol that was April 2024. It's been over a year and a half since then and we still love coming here. This place is magical. I love the castle and the flowers blooming and the trails!
Its not awful, but its not great. It needs alot of improvement. Much better information on the property and where things are with things to do. Much better Information on trails go and what you will see, length, with activity level. This is not really for kids they will be bored very quick. The house tours are not handicap friendly and you should not have any limitations with walking and climbing stairs. Also area in front of the houses are uneven, sunken and high cobble stones. Also note theres no AC in house tours, very hot. This property is a one time visit. I hope the property improves areas of: what there is to do, better markers where things are, have hand out maps, and much better information.
Great to visit preserve even in cloudy weather. Modest admission fee per car is well worth it to maintain Gilded Age mansions and preserve trails. I’m not a fan of preserve’s parking lot. It is large, but cobblestone / grass cover leads to bumpy and uncomfortable parking experience. Highlights of the visit were beach / cliff walks and pond area. Mansions look impressive but gardens around them are just ok. Overall, variety of landscapes (beach, meadows, woods) and hiking opportunities made the visit memorable.
