I'm not a huge dessert guy normally, but everyone in our family wanted something different, so we family styled it, WOW. The best Pecan pie I've had anywhere, same for the bread pudding. Everything was tremendous.
We went through in August 2020. The wife has always been fascinated with plantations and wanted to visit here more than any other. Coming through in the age of Corona, it was almost void of people. We had our own individual tour of the house, were able to walk through the gardens and everything else there was to offer. Cannot recommend this enough. Our tour guide even grew up on the farm!
Cannot recommend this enough. I went on back to back days, first day to go alone and scout it out for the family. I spent 6 hours and didn't get through everything I wanted to. It's awe-inspiring on so many levels. The Exhibits about the Road to Japan and the Road to Berlin were some of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Even bringing the family, with young kids was a full day, they loved it and learned so much from it. If you have children you NEED to bring them to this so they can learn about what we were fighting for.
We went through in August 2020. This tour war amazing. Our tour guide was local so knew everything about the swamp, tons of gators, wild boars, and birds. My family was apprehensive about a swamp tour but quickly were extremely excited for everything. We will absolutely do this again in the future.
Loved this spot. We were in NO in early August 2020, and had our kids with us so we didn't want to be right on Bourbon street. The hotel was quiet, the people were terrific, and the pool was beautiful. The old style hotel rooms were charming and added to the ambiance of the entire place. I would love to come back in the future.
We went through in August 2020. Our experience was eventful, but poor. We got there, had to pay for 2 sites since we had 2 tents. Get to our site, and there's an RV hunkered down for the night. No big deal. Went up to the main office to get refunded for 1 of the sites. We couldn't because they weren't in the office because a bomb threat had been called in (that's not a typo). So we walked down to the falls, which had the water flow of someone peeing from the top. After we meandered for a bit, we came back, thunderstorms were coming in, and we just didn't feel comfortable, so got refunded for the night and hightailed it out of there.
We loved this experience. The gardens were beautiful, the scenery and views were tremendous. The historical information was a nice addition. The gnomes everywhere were lots of fun for the kids and wife. Though not my cup of tea. We were discussing how we'd like to bring others here some day.
Very touristy, but it was worth it. The payoff at the waterfall is beautiful and a perfect family photo op. The tour guides were very good at their job. An extremely easy hike/path.
Avoid this. I'm a big history guy and was super excited to see it. It's very expensive and all they really focused on was how it was built in Nashville. The replica of Athena was cool to see, but not at all worth the price of admission if you aren't a history buff. The family couldn't wait to leave. Looking back, I wouldn't have gone solo either, and instead just walked around the gardens outside and looked at the buildings exterior.
Very informative tour, and a great escape from the rain. It's not the easiest cave tour we've done, but it was good for all ages.
