Our tour guide was really pleasant and a wealth of information. She took time to answer questions and point out objects of interest to young and old alike. The gift shop was priced so that young scouts could purchase small gifts at a reasonable price. A really wonderful place for scout troops to visit. I learned alot. Very glad we... More

the outside is covered with scaffolding and plywood, while it's being renovated. There were plenty of Girl Scouts roaming around and enjoying their trip!

I was a Brownie, and Girl Scout, and believe in teaching our children well! All of them, regardless of race or stature in our communities. They teach good values, life skills and the true basics we are getting so far from! Keep up the great work. You are in our Prayers! Most definately should be kept as a part of... More

Liked the program, girl Friendly, adults had fun also. The construction was a disappointment but realize it had to be done. An excuse to visit!

We loved touring the house - they are in the middle of an exterior refurbishment but the inside of the house is still open for tours. The docent did a good job of keeping our interest and revealing the little details that made this a very nice place to spend a few hours.

The beauty of the Outside of the home was cover by scaffolding. The tour guide was very informative and we learned a lot about the history of the Girl Scouts. However it was a little long..

No photos are allowed, and they don't sell a booklet of the interior photos -- you have to buy a bunch of post cards. The gardens are beautiful, but the exterior is undergoing renovations, so we weren't able to see the actual house. We weren't notified of the construction. Our tour guide was well informed, and adapted the tour to... More

Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the outside of the Juliette Gordon Low building as it is being remodeled on the outside (new stucco, windows, etc...). But we did take the tour through the house. Our tour guide did a good job leading us through the home. I will say we were kind of on top of another tour... More

Nice if you like that sort of thing. House is very pretty, but you have to stand in a group while they talk so much you sort of stop listening. They were fixing the outside of the house so all the windows were closed, which made it very stuffy.

Fascinating information was provided about this very talented woman. Her life was very interesting and she accomplished so many things that we were unaware of until our visit.
