Estates is a very special time with the tropical landscape full of

flowering plants, beautiful riverside areas and wide breezy porches on

the homes of the great inventors. As one of the top most visited

historical homes in the nation and an award winning National Trust for

Historic Preservation Site, the Estates is not to be missed as a great

summer destination for adults, children, families, and groups.

The Estates is open daily 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Visits can include guided

tours at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and self-guided tours all day, as well as

audio tours. Groups of 20 or more will receive a group discount and

guided tour with an Estates docent. Advance registration is required by

calling the Estates group sales department at 239-334-7419.

For plant lovers, the Estates Garden Shoppe includes many selections of

plants propagated from historic varieties on the Estates as well as

other tropical plants and garden items. On Thursdays and Saturdays at 9

a.m. there is an extensive Botanical Tour of the gardens and Estates

prorogation nursery.
