Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion Day Trip review!

And many thanks to my MIL for taking the kiddos for the day, as they would have failed to appreciate the splendors of the place!

So today’s post is chiefly beautiful eye candy.

We bought our tickets off of Groupon for just over $5 each! On site, you’ll pay $14 a ticket. Consider the extra expense a donation since Sonnenberg could use the funds to do a few repairs.

Although we enjoyed our visit tremendously, there is no doubt that the house and even the gardens are falling into wreck and ruin. But isn’t home and garden maintenance a struggle for us all?

Nestled in the Fingers Lake Region, Sonneberg Gardens is an idyllic spot to kick back and spend the day. Aptly named, the Fingers Lakes is located in New York State and famous for its series of long, thin lakes. It’s also known for vineyards.
