A VISIT TO HILLWOOD

GUIDELINES FOR VISITING
To preserve Hillwood's collections and gardens, and to ensure that everyone has a fabulous visit, we ask that you remember the following:

•	All ages are welcome in the Mansion & gardens.
•	While visiting the Mansion, please check coats, cameras, backpacks, and shopping bags at the coatroom. Umbrellas and strollers must be left outside the entrance.
•	Turn wireless devices off or set them to vibrate while touring the estate.
•	Enjoy the art with your eyes and mind, but please do not touch.
•	Visitors are welcome to take informal “vacation style” non-flash photography in the Visitor Center, Mansion, all garden spaces, and the greenhouse for personal, non-commercial use. Please refrain from any photography in special exhibition spaces (Dacha and/or Adirondack Building). Details on Hillwood’s photography policy and wedding photography packages are available.
•	• Visitors are welcome to bring food and non-alcoholic beverages. Food and beverages may also be purchased at the Café. Please consume food or drink at designated picnic areas or at the Café.
•	Watch your step in the gardens, as some of the natural stone is uneven.
•	When in the gardens, please stay on the designated paths and do not pick or gather flowers or plants.
•	Smoking is permitted near trash receptacles fitted with ashtrays.
•	Service animals are permitted on the grounds. No other pets allowed.
