Meadow Brook Hall

One of the 4th largest homes in the US and an incredible story of hard work, luck and extravagant opulence. Want to see how the other half loved while the country was struggling through the great depression, here it is in glorious detail. Truth be told it was a fantastic journey into the lives of the uber wealthy. The lady of the house has an amazing back story and would recommend you learn more about her. Worth a visit.

Beautiful home/property. The architecture is amazing. The attention to detail is truly remarkable. Any person of any age would enjoy this tour.

My husband and I did both the Guided House tour and the Behind The Scenes tour. I recommend doing both in that order. The House tour gives a good tour of the standard rooms of the house, along with a lot of history and information about each room. The Behind The Scenes tour guides guests to places not generally seen, like servants areas, hidden staircases, and private areas of the home. All of our tour guides were outgoing and offered up so much interesting information. Allow one hour to one and a half hours for each tour, depending on size of group and number of questions. Also, don't miss seeing the children's playhouses outside! You can go in and look around. I definitely recommend this place! So beautiful!

A hauntingly beautiful historic gem. By far one of my favorite places in all of Michigan. I have been to Meadow Brook Hall so many times over the years - first with my Grandmother when I was a child, and now I'm taking my own kids there.

No matter how many times you go, there is always something you missed before that is new. The attention to detail in the architecture and design is like that of the estates of European aristocracy.

A beautiful place for weddings, a gorgeous display around the holidays, stunning gardens in the warmer months, and in the fall the gardens are the aesthetic of a living Virginia Woolf poem. Such an incredible place for photography.
