I took out of state family with children. Be sure to watch the video in the visitor's center so they can understand who Audubon is and what he did. Nicely preserved buildings. Tour guide was friendly and entertaining.

Recently we had a kindergarten group here for a field trip and we had a great time. We had stations for the children to join in, like the kitchen cooking, playing with children's toys, etc. I have also been here and toured the home and walked around the park and had a picnic. We had a great time every time we have been here.

There is an interesting museum where you purchase your ticket. Following this you can tour the Oakley home and wander around the rest of the buildings. Audubon only spent 3 or 4 months here tutoring one of the Oakley children but I guess they had to name the park after someone. Anyway, it's a nice park and worth a visit.

We really enjoyed our time at the Audubon Historic Site and the adjacent home. Our guide went to great lengths to help us (from Australia) understand the story of the house and its inhabitants (including Audubon if only for a short time) and to give us a sense of the history of this particular area. So very different to other plantation home visits - no hooped skirts and ghost talk - we liked the way the inhabitants adapted the house design to suit their particular needs and the climate. The grounds and park were relaxing and peaceful and the information centre was well set out and greatly expanded our insight to life in this remarkable state and this area in particular. Well worth a visit.

Docent gave a wonderful tour. Beautiful old home with lots of history. Lovely grounds with lots to see. Nice little museum too.

This place is wonderful - beautiful trails and gardens to walk in, the friendlies staff and a fascinating history - especially of James Audubon's stay and his paintings. Our docent - Susan - was extremely well-informed and great at communicating - and it was a refreshing change from some places that she was more interested in the history, the people and the politics than the china ware and curtains (though she knew about those too!) An intelligent, illuminating visit with a quiet charm. Terrific.

Admission price only $4 but free for those over 62!! Lovely house with some of the furishing that actually belonged to the family. A bed that Audubon slept in Origional Audubon prints hanging on the walls. Tours of the house are on the hour and worth the price just to get the educational benifit let alone see how things looked and were done in early plantation times. Out buildings that our interesting. There are chickens and a couple cows. Lovely grounds.

This is my favorite place to go each December! Their Christmas in the Country candlelight tours are one the highlights of my year! While not one of the more ornate plantations, it's architecture is unique and their special events are wonderful! At Christmastime, candlelight tours, Christmas carols, hearth cooked food, costumed interpretors, period dancing!!! You don't want to miss it!!!

Husband and I visited during "Jane Austen" celebration. We paid 1/2 price and got twice as much more personalized info as we would have during normal tours. The grounds seem to be overgrown and there weren't any farm animals. I assumed this was due to Louisiana heat. As we entere each room a tour guide, dressed in Jane Austen time period, gave specific info about the room and answered all of our questions. We also learned how to make lavender bath salts, drink old style tea and learn fanology.
