Knowing this, I took a day off on a Friday to come to their 1pm tour. No one else was there so it ended up being a private tour for my BF and me. Our docent Elaine was a straight G for showing us all the areas (and more!), giving us colorful background, really emphasizing the significance of the place and her passion to maintain and preserve. While it's true that the entire upstairs have been converted to offices, Christmas displays and bridal suites, the first floor, and some extras (library, dinning room, sunroom, German pub room) were all still intact and interesting to tour. The staff was very welcoming and it genuinely was interesting to learn about Alliance, the engineering company and the descendants. The admission cost is $10 per person cash and I thought it was worthwhile for the hour+ tour. The grounds had an echo chamber that greatly amused us! Recommend stopping by here and checking out the cute antique shops in downtown Alliance! I had a wonderful day trip here.

We were there for the holiday weekend tour and it was really crowded with not great crowd-management and not really much information about the home or the family. There was a brief hand-out with some basic information about each room, but really nothing really sparked my attention or jumped out here. I am still not sure what the family did or aware of any specific hidden gems in the mansion or anything significant about the architecture. The most interesting little detail were the trolls and owls carved into the molding upstairs in the library. I don't know, but maybe if we came back on a day that wasn't packed to the brim with people I would have felt more engaged? Or maybe more time to talk to the docents? For ten bucks per adult, I don't really think it was worth it. There were significant repairs needed and the house has not fully been restored. There are far more detailed and interesting tours of historic homes in the northeast Ohio area to visit. Either way, now we can say we've been and my son DID get to visit Santa Claus with virtually zero wait to do so. That's a win.

Roy guided us through and he was awesome. Our tour was not rushed and he spent lots of time answering questions as we walked through. This visit came at a perfect time, because I had recently been in Iceland and had my photo taken with a giant troll at the airport, which I showed Roy. I had been wanting to bring my child here for quite some time, and today was finally the day we made it. At four years old, he was just as in awe as I was at some of the displays. There are FOURTEEN rooms housing this Guinness-record holding collection. Roy explained to us how tedious and time-consuming it is to submit evidence to be eligible for Guinness records. This is one of those places where you could come back several more times and still not quite see everything you wanted to see. So many nooks and crannies and hidden gems to feast your eyes on. My favorites are definitely the Norwegian trolls. Some of the scenes in that section of the museum vaguely reminded me of the Maelstrom (if you ever had visited Epcot years ago, you know what I'm talking about!) I did not get to meet Sherry, but we met her sweet gentle senior citizen dog. My son wanted to pet her and Roy told him it was okay. She probably didn't want to be bothered, but was kind enough to let a little boy give her a friendly pet. We also learned that Sherry owns the cat cafe right behind the troll museum. My son wanted to go there too, but we promised we would come back another day because we were really starving by the time we were done and had not yet had lunch. Also: the place right across the street looked a really cool place to dine, but it didn't open for another hour. We left with several magnets and some great photos. I am so glad we made time to visit this little gem in downtown Alliance.

The grounds are beautiful, rustic with beautiful landscaping and flowers when weather permits. Kids love the greenhouse area where they can discover exotic (and regular) plants, dig for root vegetables, play with the train etc. The butterfly area is amazing in the summer when it's full of different butterflies, kids love catching them on the sugar water sticks. The play areas are really impressive- the treehouse area, kiddie zip line, obstacle course, enormous slide, stage with costumes etc, and don't forget about the mud kitchen. Don't wear nice clothes. Bottom line, it's super nice, super fun, and kids of all ages will enjoy it.
