Wrigley Mansion reviews
8We had a very nice tour of the tournament house. The host was very knowledgeable and filled with interesting facts and family stories from the early days of this family
Beautiful. I remember when they actually had a webpage when I used AOL as internet access.
Visited the gorgeous rose garden and walked the grounds. Mansion was a winter home of the Wrigley family of chewing gum fame. It is owned by Pasadena and home of Tournament of Roses. So naturally they had beautiful roses. Also camellias, other flowers and a fabulous tree.
Tours of home are free but one day/week and reserved ahead. It's a great place to walk around and enjoy some beautiful flowers.
Pasadena's Orange Grove Boulevard, also known as "Millionaire's Row, " used to have lavish mansions. Although most are gone, William Wrigley's three-story, 21-room home remains as the headquarters of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. Gifted to the City of Pasadena after Mrs. Wrigley's death, the mansion contains 125 years of Tournament of Roses memorabilia, including crowns and tiaras worn by former queens and princesses, a formal portrait of the reigning Rose Queen, and a unique Waterford crystal bowl commissioned for the Tournament's centennial celebration.
Tour of the Wrigley Mansion, offices of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses (PTR) organization. Was owned by the chewing gum guy. Willed to the PTR. Not a mansion in the sense of Getty, Hearst, etc, but a large historic home. Furnishings are period but not original to the house.
If you are into the Rose Parade and Game you will get a lot out of this. If not, there are more elaborate mansions to see in LA.
There are many rooms, one flight of stairs. Some rooms are just meeting rooms for the PTR staff.
Queen and Court Room in photos.
See crowns of past Queens (no precious stones)
Free, Thursdays at 2 PM. Need reservations. Two hours.
Follow it with dinner in Pasadena. Lots of good places.
The Rose Parade House! It's kinda looking dilapidated these days. It needs sprucing up.
Beautiful huge mansion that has a lot of history and is a historical landmark. Rose garden and huge tree on the premises
This place has been closed since COVID started. Was just there a couple weeks ago and the staff tells me they're closed due to it being the off season. Allowed me inside, but wouldn't allow me to use the bathroom or see the inside of the mansion. Just a shadowbox of a few items inside.
