Such a pleasant experience even during this pandemic (being careful of course). Everyone was extremely kind: from the woman checking us in, the sweet janitor, and the gentleman helping along the self guided tour. Hope to visit again when indoor tours open. ️

Wow! This place is amazing. Huge house lots of rooms, lots of doors, lots of stairways, and the garden is beautiful I went at night so all of the activities were closed but if you go during the day they have axe throwing which sounds fun! I love how you could spend the afternoon here and then go to Santana Row afterwards for dinner.I came here for the Halloween flashlight tours which was at night and it was totally worth it!

Tour Date: 9/13/2020. It was a self-guided tour, with audio recordings throughout certain locations. Limited staffing giving assistance at key locations with their stories. Very interesting historical museum of Sarah Winchesters home. No cafeteria or axe throwing. Make sure you visit the Winchesters product museum in the souvenir store. Did you know they made shoe skates?

Went to the night tour on the 10/18, super cool! They provided the flashlights and allowed us to walk around at a safe distance. Didnt take too many pictures but I was able to take a picture the front of the house, the barn with a house skeleton, and the last original stove in the house. In the picture of the stove I did see something odd in the picture but I didnt catch it until I was in my way home.Very much recommend if you like museums and ghost stories.

Going to the Winchester mystery house during the pandemic was actually more enjoyable than going prior to it happening. I rather enjoyed the self guided tour because it allowed you to walk the house at your own pace. I was able to notice things I hadnt noticed from the past two times I had visited. The house still had guides in certain locations to tell you interesting facts about the house and Mrs. Winchester. I would definitely come back a 4th time however I would want to do the night tour for my next visit.

Cool spot if you’re looking for something to do! This is not any means a mystery house, it definitely is more of a historic tour. The house is fascinating with the architecture, tiny stair steps, and ghost sightings. Sarah, the owner, was a very unique and special woman so learning about her life was interesting. Tickets are around $43 so it was expensive for the experience we received. Entrance employees were pretty rude but everyone else was friendly and fun to talk with!

Forty year native of the Bay Area and last night was my first time visiting this beauty! My family and I took the 7:00 o’clock flashlight tour and we were promptly escorted into the Mansion. Sara’s house is truly unique and eerily you can kind of feel her presence. The staff here went above and beyond to ensure the safety of guests and made sure everyone kept their distance. I recommend taking this tour you will not be disappointed!

The Winchester Mystery House is a mansion in San Jose, California, that was once the personal residence of Sarah Winchester, the widow of firearm magnate William Wirt Winchester. Located at 525 South Winchester Blvd. in San Jose, the Queen Anne Style Victorian mansion is renowned for its size, its architectural curiosities, and its lack of any master building plan. It is a designated California historical landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is privately owned and serves as a tourist attraction.

I have been to the Winchester Mystery House twice now and would return again. It is a fun place to visit. It is very interesting to learn about. I think its great that you can do a self guided tour. We went with family and we all had a great time. They did a great job of making us feel comfortable and safe during our visit and the place felt very clean. Its conveniently located within walking distance to shopping and dining places downtown so you can make a day out of spending your time here and at the nearby places.

Wow all the sights and beautiful work that never ends....I Loved learning about Sarah and all the historical history the gardens was by far my favorite.... it all was so amazing ......Hope you enjoy it as much as I have...

If youre thinking about visiting-stop thinking and just do it! Totally worth it! The history of the building and crazy architecture is truly a sight to see. Be sure to ask the employees for their ghost stories, you wont be disappointed!

The tours are self guided at the moment due to Covid. They have recordeings explaining the room here and there as well as employees stationed throughout the house. You need to reserve tickets in advance. I enjoyed exploring the house and grounds.

Lots of fun! Due to COVID-19 and social distancing, the flashlight tour is self guided. The have audio recordings in various rooms to explain things or tell the history. Other than that, you are pretty much alone with nothing more than a flashlight and some safety nightlights in one of the oddest and perhaps one of the most haunted locals in California!

Amazing service and staff! And beautiful tour. It was our first time and it definitely won’t be our last. Such an amazing historical place with spooky and mysterious vibes while being educated about Sarah Winchester and the legacy she left behind. 10/10 def recommend to friends and family!!!

So much fun! The self guided tours still allow you to see the majority of the house and pretty much all of the gardens. Well worth the price and time! Learned quite a bit about the ole gal that I didnt know before too! (There are still people along the way that will guide you a bit and answer questions.)

Spooky Season at its finest! With Covid19, this is a wonderful way to experience Halloween in a safe but frightening way! Everyone receives their own individual flashlight that you can keep at the end and can go along at your own pace. They do pace individual parties strategically so their is enough distance and everyone is safe. Such a fun experience and a few supernatural experiences.

Flashlight tour was amazing! Spooky and also fascinating to learn about the history. Staff were all very nice and professional

The house has been beautifully maintained. The self guided tour has prerecorded information about the house. They also have staff that can answer questions and provide additional information. Staff was friendly and enthusiastic about the house. We loved it.

Definitely an awesome place. Right now its self guided tours and some rooms are being remodeled so well have to go back for another adventure. The room where Sarah died was chilling before I even knew that was the room. I think a flashlight tour or Friday the 13th tour would be really creepy. Cant wait to go back.

Even during covid times. The tour is fantastic

The place is actually a magnificent mansion. I love the old victorian style. Unfortunately we went during covid so only the garden was open. 20$ a person. But ill definitely be going back when they fully open.

We did the self guided tour and it was about two hours and a half for us even though the third floor wasnt open due to COVID-19. But we did walk through the garden as well. I gotta say, it was very interesting and fun. We enjoyed it very much. We saw many families and couples going in as well. The stairs are not hard at all and so older people can walk through it without problems. It really didnt feel as long as we were there. Will definitely be back when the third floor is open. Also ask questions! The employees know a lot and are really nice to speak to.

Beautifully abnormal and weird. I remember reading about the Winchester Mansion in a book almost 20 years ago and finally getting to visit did not disappoint! Walking around the gardens and outside has some beautiful views and makes for some excellent photos. There are two tours available, we enjoyed the shorter of the two tours but I have heard from friends that the longer tour is well worth it to check out the basement. The tours are guided, our tour guide was excellent really knowing her facts and how to tell a great story brought the tour and house to life. I will gladly go a second time.

Such a unique and beautiful place to visit!! Ive been here many times and everytime I am blown away by the beauty of the architecture and design! Plus its so bizzaro and spooky! I recommend a daytime tour first to see the home and I also recommend the night time flashlight tours! All are good!

Great place, came hear on Halloween. I did not see anything scary or supernatural but the grounds were very interesting and definitely worth the stop if you are in the area.

Ive been dying to visit the Winchester Mystery House for so long now. I loved getting to do a self-guided tour and see the house. All the staff are so wonderful and kind, willing to chat about just about anything - and all while holding to strict Covid guidelines! I felt comfortable AND welcome, and nothing is better than that! Thanks for the best time!

The people are very nice. Sometime they can scare you because you might see them in one place and then they appear in a totally different room. We had fun and took our time going in each room and reading all the information or listening to the speaker for the history of the room. We will go back to visit and take the garden tour.

Visited in person. Great tours. Wished they would let you explore more on your own.

So glad to have a chance to visit Winchester Mystery House again- even if its a self-guided garden tour! The tour guides are wonderful to talk with and the night-time ghost tour outside was fun! Happy to help keep the doors open so we can visit again on the inside once the restrictions are lifted.

This is the neatest and spookiest place! The guided tour was absolutely fascinating, and there were so many interesting details. A MUST in San Jose!

Was amazing just wish on the flashlight tour we got to see more of the house and basement and that they had a guide that told you about the house as you went along. We had some very strange things show up in our pictures.

Last I went on this tour I was a tween. Back then, there wasn’t much furnishings and there was a limited area that was part of the Mansion tour. I remember the tour wasn’t that long and it was hot.Now there is a Visitor Center, Store, and a place to get something to eat and drink.All of the antique furnishings are period base, not owned by Sarah Winchester. They give a better sense of how she would have lived.Some of the rooms are still left as how it was after the 1906 Earthquake, which I found fascinating because she did not have these rooms repaired.She was under 5 ft all and had arthritis. Her mansion was customer built to her size and her ailments. Lots of narrow hallways, staircases, and very short steps. The last rooms on the Daily tour (mansion) was her dining room area. The ceiling are very low.The outside grounds are free to walk around before or after the tour. It is funny to now look from inside through the mansions windows and to be outside her mansion to see “21st century San Jose” surrounding her estate, including how busy (and noisy) Winchester Blvd now is, plus Santana Row is across the street!The Winchester Mystery House is beautifully maintained and clean inside and out. Our tour guide was amazing. She had the right amount of eeriness in her voice and her period piece costume uniform.Can buy tickets advance online and in person. Best to go with a group so you can talk about your experiences after the tour. The maximum tour size is 27.NOT Accessibility or Kid Friendly: If you use a wheelchair, walker, or stroller, visiting the Winchester Mystery House is not for you. The house is not retrofitted for this and, unfortunately, you will not be able to take the Mansion Tour.

Visited it end of October, maybe closed to Holloween, a lot of Holloween decorations. Because of the COVID-19, some rooms are opening to the public. Around 1-1/2 hours, finished exploring the interiors. To me, not that mystery as I was told by my sister who recommended me to visit if I went to San Francisco.

Ive been to the WMH many times in the past. A simply fascinating place! Due to covid they are now offering socially distanced self-guided tours. What a unique way to see the mansion! Guides are available throughout the tour if you get lost!

Was super awesome just wish we could see the entire house

This place was awesome. Creepy but awesome. My girlfriend really wanted to go for a long time so I took her and it was well worth the drive and admission

We went here while on vacation in California in August. We bundled the Mansion Tour and the Explore More Tour for a discount. Its a bit pricey for a family of four to do both tours even with the discount but not one of us has had any regrets. This house was so much fun to explore! It would be the ultimate place to play hide and go seek.There is so much history in this house! If you do choose to go, do a little research before hand about Mrs. Winchester and the house. Theres even some helpful videos on youtube that go into great detail of the building of the house. The house was very modern for the time period, as Mrs. Winchester was quite innovative.If youre able to get into Dantes tour group then youre in for some fun. Hes hands down the very best guide Ive had in over twenty years. Hes smart and funny and has the biggest personality. I know our experience wouldnt have been half as good without him.

I am at this moment watching the movie about the Winchester house. Its already made me jump out of my skin twice. I wonder why the owner doesnt just burn it down to the ground. I know its got historical value but I would not want my home to be known for being the most haunted house in the country.

Theres always something to learn every time I go there. Theres so much more to learn about the house. I love talking to the staff that work there to see what its like working there. If I lived closer, Id probably work there.Came back the day after it re-opened and boy, was it weird to not see crowds there. I told my friends about it and many of them havent been there before. I told them they needed to check out the house!

Went here last October with my fiance on vacation. We booked the Unhinged night tour. We had so much fun but missed out on seeing the house so went back the next day for a regular tour. Both tours were so much fun! The employees go all out and very informative. I highly recommend a visit!

I loved it. I took my girlfriend for the night flashlight tour and we had an amazing time. We ended up spending almost 4 hours just walking around. I highly recommend it for people who like creepy and spooky houses. We will definitely come back after the covid virus.

House was closed. But the Garden was pretty. Looking at the house from the outside was cool. The gentleman in the Garden was very friendly ans informative.

One of the most famous places I have visited is the place of my masterpiece, and the beauty of the house and gardens are the most beautiful

We didnt realize you had to make reservations and they were sold out for the COVID daily limit. We didnt get to go in so we were disappointed.

I have wanted to go here for over 20 years. Finally I was able to go while vacationing to go see family. I went with my parents. Our guide was great. Im still so excited and happy I finally made it there. It is such a beautiful and mysterious place filled with wonder and spookiness at the same time. If youre not into the ghostly and mysterious aspect of it dont worry. They give you an amazing amount of information on the history of how people lived at the time. My father is a carpenter that does not believe in ghost. However, he still enjoyed himself very much. He got to see the odd, funny, and unique work that the carpenters did on this mansion at the time. Theres also so much antique furniture and home appliances from that era. I recommend that if youre in this area you better check it out. Youd be missing out big time if you pass it up.

Garden tour only due to COVID. Enjoyed the visit but heartbroken that we were unable to go inside. We will be back!

Sandys customer service was awesome. Had to adjust our reservation twice. Sandy took care of it both times and was the most helpful and courteous person i think i have ever dealt with. Stayed on the phone to make sure i got the confirmation email with all the correct info. Went above and beyond.

It was creepy and interesting all at the same time. Definitely a good place to see.

I love Winchester Mystery House. Growing up I loved coming here and as an adult too. I enjoyed the tour of the house. Hopefully I will come back for another tour some day when it re-opens again. I just love the house. Hopefully some day I can be able to spend the night at Winchester Mystery House some day and get the feel of the spirits that live there. God bless the employees who take care of the house.

I went back in the summer for the garden tour only, because things were closed down for Covid. I was super excited to finally visit for October and see the inside of the house for the first time!

Huge house full of history and beautiful gardens

Was great, easy to move around with a cane. Stairs were no problem. We loved this place

What an awesome historical experience. First off..pay for both tours. Its worth it. History behind the reasons why Sarah had the house built like it was is very mysterious and totally interesting. Both tours are about an hour long. the house is very dark and a lot of places and you cant chew gum or take flash pictures in it so I would advise you to go in the morning or early afternoon when the sun is at its peak. Otherwise you might get some blurry pictures. I did not get that how to creepy feeling but the seance room was a little trippy. They are still renovating rooms and you might want to call ahead to see if some of the more historical rooms are open. They were cleaning guns and I went so I did not get to see the gun shop. Awesome tour the of an awesome place.

Its a great part of history. Very interesting place to visit. Dont must it

Winchester Mystery House is a cool place to visit if you have a spare few hours in San Jose. It’s an unusual old mansion with some extraordinary architecture and stories. The guided tour is very interesting and informative and worth doing when you are there. I didn’t see any ghosts but the old house is full of character and of course has a gift shop to buy lots of souvenirs.

The Winchester mystery house Tour was amazing. The house has 160 rooms, 10,000 windows and hundred of stairs inside the house. Door that open to walls and other that opens to nowhere. The history behind is so amazing. We had Dante us our tour guy he is one of the best tour guys I’ve had in all the 100% of tours I’ve taking around all 39 counties I’ve been too. He was very enthusiastic and excited telling us about the house and ghost that wondered about the property. Out 2nd tours guy was Zack he was very informative and cool as well. I’ll recommend anyone to take this tour if you are in the bay are in San Jose Ca.

Great attraction, the self guiding tour did pose some issues. Other guests clogged areas and caused traffic jams. Some areas were blocked off which sucked but overall great time. Also the garden is beautiful

Great place to go and visit i love it. Its a little creepy but not scary. House is not that tall in real life pictures are deceiving but not in a bad way.A little pricey for what it is but a great thing to do in san jose

You dont have to believe in mystery to like the place. Its really interesting architecture. if you do like mystery though, then youll love it. So many spooky things about that house.But you have to be lucky to get a great guide because theres a substantial difference between them.

This is a great place to bring the family and learn a bit of history at the same time. I think going at night especially during the Halloween season definitely adds to the experience. They have several other activities that are also fun to do on the compound so prepare to spend a decent amount of time there. The only reason for not 5 stars is I thought it was a little pricey for what you see and are charged extra to see the whole house. Should be included in my opinion.

The Winchester House was definitely not what I expected and an amazing surprise! I had a preconceived notion that I was going to see a large number of chaotically built little rooms, doors to nothing and stairs that lead to nowhere without any logical sense but it is in fact 160 organized bedrooms where you do have interesting multiple entrances and exits But they all are cohesive and accessible. One room leads on to another room to another staircase to another hallway to another room and each room for the most part was very nicely decorated. Anybody who enjoys architecture will not be disappointed as Sarah Winchester dude have more money that she could spend and she chose to spend it on some of the most beautiful stained glass windows I have ever seen. Definitely some of the finest enclose Windows around! And since she had more money than she knew what to do with she did indulge in very fine architectural design which was a delight to see. Then there is the Paranormal. I definitely am not easy to frighten but I did twice experience creepy cold Goosebumps it came out of nowhere. In one of the rooms I experienced the sense of swaying, as if the house was swaying beneath my feet. My daughter had a moment where she felt Frozen and unable to move, then overcome by extreme desire to sleep before snapping out of it. It made a Believer out of me that we had a small encounter with the Paranormal so anybody into that kind of thing should definitely spend some time there. A definite see!

This destination was extremely disappointing. The main tour is $40 and only includes two mysterious and wacky attractions. They were just shallow cabinets... And a very brief view of the stairs that go nowhere. The rest of the wacky architecture was in a second tour for an additional $15. Additionally, apart from the walls and some windows, nothing was originally of the house. None of the furniture was original. I would not recommend it AT ALL.

Great tour. Covid 19 protections in place throughout the whole tour. Recordings and signs were in place in most rooms. Also, masked tour guides were strategically placed for questions. We spent 2 hours there. Reservations required.

House of course is amazing as always, however the Halloween flash light tour was not what I expected. They allow to many groups in at a time you dont get much time to enjoy the tour because your rushed. Not very intimate and takes fun out of the whole purpose of doing a self guided tour.

Very cool but very pricey in my opinion. We did the extended tour, if you want to save a couple of bucks, Id say the extended tour isnt really necessary. The guides were fun and somewhat knowledgeable. The first one we had knew a lot and had been working there for 7 years. The second guide for the extended tour seemed like she was reading off a script way too much and couldnt answer any of my questions.Its a very odd place but for good reasons which youll find out on the tour.

Great place to visit for a date or with the family or even to go alone

Loved this place! The grounds are immaculate and the entire place is very well kept. The tour was informative and interesting. Spent 1 1/2 hours there but could have easily spent more time. The gift shop has a lot of fun items and some grab & go food. I highly recommend this place.

ALWAYS AN AMAZING TRIP!! A definite must visit when in San Jose! If you love architecture, the bizarre, or just visiting historical landmarks!!

The house itself was closed when we were there but the gardens were open.We really enjoyed the walk around getting info from the gentleman walking the garden.The outside and garden are very well maintained. One day hope to be bk

We had a great time. The covid is an issue. You can only see 110 of the 160 rooms. And you cant walk all of the stairs and other cool stuff. Still a good experience.

This place is touristy and overpriced. I expected as much. It was neat to walk through but I feel they glossed over the story of the Winchester family. They did do a pretty good job of keeping people distanced though.

Very good. From the moment my friend and I went in. We both got dizzy and nauseated. There is a spirit in the stable and garden. Once we left we got better.

Me and my girlfriend came to this place when we were in San Jose for the weekend. I came into this tour knowing absolutely nothing about the house or the story behind it. We did the general tour and it was a great experience. The tour guide was great and kept the tour entertaining. The gift shop was filled with plenty of merchandise too. I think this is a must-see stop if you are ever in the area.

If you love old historical homes and mystery stories this is a must see attraction when visiting San Jose!! The home and grounds are beautiful and the mystery behind why it was built the way it was is well told by the tour guides. Pay the extra and tour the basement!!

Very amazing and great night tour. Thank you to the staff for the history on it.

Something that has been on me and my husbands bucket list since high school was going here! It was definitely a major priority while living in CA! And when we went it did NOT disappoint!! Just feeling how old the house is and learning more about the history was amazing. Seeing the house on both tours and just appreciating the beautiful architecture is breathtaking. Its a must if your in CA!

It was great but I still cant find my daughter... just kidding i loved it.

We all agreed it was wayyy too expensive for what you get. We basically saw a couple of mostly empty or almost empty rooms. The gardens are more so just hedges and lawn. There were flowers but nothing spectacular. The coolest part was the Halloween decor. For costing 43 dollars, we shouldve taken our money elsewhere and found something more exciting.

Beautiful and got to walk the grounds even during COVID! Buy your tickets online before coming.

This is the most interesting house! I really liked the tour and I think Victor was our guide? He was very animated and a great tour guide. I came here about 10 yrs ago and I think they might have opened more of the house for the tours. Also we did the extended tour which was $10 more. They show you about 40 more rooms in the house. Not sure how many rooms there are in the house, but we were told that we will see 110, I think, rooms during the regular tour. There are so many beautiful rooms in this house and the architecture of some are something youll never see or being done anymore today. You wont be disappointed!

I just love this house! It is one of the most beautiful I have seen when it comes to Victorian houses

An awesome experience to be had and shared. But always pay the upmost respect!

I had a interesting time having fun and experience a weird activities during my tour. Over all I enjoyed my visit.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. Just love the old Victorian look. Just a fascinating place to visit in San Jose.

This place was on my bucket list. Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic, you are not allowed to go into the house, but man the outside is fantastic. Lots of picture options. The staff are friendly and brave in my opinion, as well as informative and helpful. Each one can regale you with few experiences of their own.Great tour, beautiful home. Ghost hunters must see, and even a must see for the non-believers.My favorite place was the gardens surrounding the Winchester house. Sitting there in the dark with the sounds of water fountains and crickets. Heaven. So going back when they open again for another tour.

Definitely a mystery house and feels haunted. We get to see Ginger Bread version of the house too, it was great.We took both Mansion and Explore more tour. Mansion tour walks almost all the rooms, it really amazes staircases and doors leading nowhere. The real reason why there were many doors and windows is still a mystery. I wish there was more information on why the house was built with so many doors and windows. Many rooms with 13 windows, 13 doors, 13 ceiling blocks makes it evident that something has happened related to spirits/haunting.Explore more tour takes to special rooms that are preserved and takes us to history. Definitely worth visiting, we sure are going back again.

Excellent experience! Amazing, friendly staff, family friendly, very safe, social distancing, masks required, hand sanitizer is readily available. Great experience, would come again.

Cool experience. Lots of short stairs, low ceilings and narrow areas so be prepared. But a must see

The house is a nice experience if you are expecting to go through an old house with the lights out. Honestly we where expecting it to be more spooky, its just walking arround by yourself through an old house. Too expensive for that.

Very interesting, although I think the tour wouldve been better had it included a lot more of the house than it did. I know, from researching it, that the mansion was expansive, and although it seemed to take a long time, we only got to see a fraction of the house.Our tour guide, Freddy/Melinda :), was so nice and extremely knowledgeable. She was very upbeat and added a definite personalization to our time there.The souvenir shop was definitely pricey, but we did end up with some items that will always remind us of this small part of our vacation.I would suggest that they offer a chance for the public to take small tours on their own, only for the sake of not feeling like youre being herded through - kinda like cattle... LolIt was rather long. I know that several people on our tour, ones just a little on the mature side of the age spectrum, had a difficult time with the narrow staircases and the up and down through the different stories of the house.I know that its mentioned on the website that its not handicapped accessible, but I think that they should probably mention that people with mobility hindrances (while walking or even standing,) or people with back problems or issues with standing for long periods, should be cautious in choosing to take this tour.The photos that are offered at the end of the tour are okay quality. Personally, I would suggest taking your own photos, maybe in front of part of the house... and then you, or someone you know whos familiar with Photoshop, create a photograph. Im just not positive that it was quite worth $39 for the 3 (semi-professional looking) prints + access to the digital files.Overall - the atmosphere was fun.A definite stop for tourists looking for an interesting afternoon, who have a few hours and dont mind a little bit more of an expensive attraction.I would go again, but Id surely allot more time and wear comfortable shoes.

I love traveling and this is a great destination. Storytellers are great at their job and worth a tour. Cannot see everything in 1 visit but great experience.

Love that they offer this night time tour but it was very over priced. When we arrived it seemed very disorganized. There should have been lines for the times that you scheduled your tour. Instead they had one big line and would send you away if you were there too early and you had to start at the back of the line again. I liked the information over the speaker in each room but I felt rushed because I couldn’t get through the entire recording before a worker would come in the room and tell me to keep moving. The group behind us would walk into the room while we were still viewing and just start talking and interrupting our time in each room. This could have been managed much better. Some workers would just pop out of a dark hallway if you were looking in it and say “can I help you?” as though you were not supposed to look into a hallway even though it was right there for you to see so it threw the entire vibe off.

A must see if you are in the area.Truly beautiful and bizarre. It is definitely worth doing the combo of the two tours they give since adding the second tour is only an additional $10. Amazing building with beautiful details and finishes. House and grounds are wonderful and we spent a great afternoon exploring them.Gift shop was the only disappointment offering mainly shirts and mugs. I wish the gift shop would find someone to make small ( 6x12 or 12x 20) replica stained glass pieces or painted glass pieces of some of the windows. A one foot statue replica of various fountains and statues would be great too. I’d like to feel like I’m taking a piece of the unique place home with me. Even just a Victorian era gift shop would seem more appropriate with replica jewelry, gloves, artwork, ladies and men’s hats from the time period.

Covid has some rooms off limits but its still a great placeOne way walk throughsLimited guided tours,Recommend doing some research about the house before your visitThe guides are very friendly and knowledgeable, but the way its set up right now requires guests to ask questions to get additional details about a given room, not their faultVery clean set up

August 11, 2018, This was our first trip to the Winchester mystery house so we went on the main tour and the extended tour. If you havent been GO cause its worth every penny! Although there is some windows open and fans on, the house felt like a million degrees so dress prepared. Im sharing pictures of the outside of the house, grounds and gardens, ALL beautiful by the way, because pictures and video are not allowed inside. However at the very end of the main tour our guide allowed photos of the actual costumes used in the movie Winchester. Now on the main tour the only thing I didnt like is you have NO time to really look at the rooms, items and details from tour stop to tour stop otherwise you miss the whole beginning part of what your guide is talking about. The staff is all friendly and one young lady, a manager I believe who had a yellow sweater with dress that day, was awesome for helping us get reunited with our extended tour group after missing the departing call. Both our tour guides names were similar, one was Mark and the other was Matt I believe but our extended tour guide was the coolest! Now for those who believe in the paranormal take your time and look very closely to my pictures and see what you find. We had a blast and are already planning to go for the candlelight tour and flash light tour! Thanks Sarah W. and staff for a memorable visit

Fun place to check off your bucket list. You can see 110 of 160 rooms.

LOVE this house and wish I lived nearby so I could tour it more often. Its been on my bucket list since I learned about the house back in the 80s and I was finally able to see it in 2019. I enjoyed the tour so much that I wished I could start all over as soon as it was finished. I also did the see more tour and that was also awesome. I loved being in the attic area and all the back areas that arent part of the usual tour. I live in Vancouver, Canada, and will return to this wonderful house some day.

Cool little outing!Im a museum nerd and thought it was really cool! Our tour guide was super informed and gave an excellent tour. I was hoping to get a bit more of the eerie haunted stuff but it was a day time tour so maybe we need to go to an evening tour for that! The only thing was the tour was a tad bit rushed so it was hard to take good photos that really convey the confusion with in the house! The gift shop was great too! I highly recommend visiting if you have the time! Tip:check Groupon for discounted tickets!

Absolutely lovely attraction! I definitely recommend to anyone in the area. Theres so many fun and cool facts about the house and the house itself is so charming and gorgeous. Not quite sure if its better to do the standard tour vs the standard+Extended tour. We did the standard tour which was about an hour and was very fun. They also had a super cool gingerbread version of the house inside! Super cute and smelled amazing
