Not run by the NPS but rather the MV Ladies Association (since about 1860) and they do a great job. Definitely do the guided Mansion Tour but make sure you leave plenty of time for all the outlying buildings (free audio tour). Also the museum and educational center are exceptional. So leave plenty of time here. Not sure about the shops and restaurant etc.

Came here many years ago before my kids were born and decided since they were old enough, I would bring them. I love how they have kept up with the grounds they are currently still doing renovations and this is still one of the most beautiful historic places I have ever been to. My kids completely appreciated it too.

The Grounds pass gives access to the house tour and the museum at the visitors center. Be sure not to miss the museum; it is truly excellent, both in telling the story of Washington and his ancestors but also in displaying interesting artifacts. The exhibit about Washington’s teeth was particularly fascinating. Be sure to schedule the enslaved persons tour. Our guide Chris was exceptional, bringing light to the lives of the enslaved. The house tour was mildly disappointing. It seemed rushed, most likely due to high demand. Our group was just too large for the space and our guide was not exceptional.
