Moody mansion was incredible and the docents there were amazing. The only problem was - we weren’t told about the optional access to additional parts of the mansion. All it would have cost was $5 and we could have seen it all. Other than that it is highly recommended. Beautiful historic property. Well presented. Immaculate. Very professional.
The self guided tour was excellent. The mansion and the Moody family are very interesting. Very enjoyable
its a self tour, and takes you through each room with detail information. S. toir guide/hostess greats you on each floor.
The mansion tour was very enjoyable. A beautiful home and fascinating history. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering questions. Be aware that there is no place to sit or rest in any room—which may be a deterrent for the elderly. Also, bring ear buds so you can hear the audio guide, as none were provided. The tour only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete. All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience!
The house was beautiful The people were sweet and nice I took my time and I read through everything and I did it on my own or you can go with them or they have a video audio tour that you can do it was really nice
PAY ONLINE the boy at the house said no children prices my Granddaughter was with me, and he charged me 20$ a piece. Made change for my $50 out of his wallet.
The home is beautiful with many of the original furnishings and belongings. The docent was very knowledgeable and informative.
Love the self guided tour. Marys version. We really enjoyed taking our time to enjoy all the history.
It’s a nice clean place. The location is about 15 miles west of where all of the restaurants and city sites are located though. Great rate.
We enjoyed the history of the home and the family. all types of pamphlets with information . This 1895 home is amazing. Will take more friends and family on this tour in Galveston
