## About

Step into Florida's first luxury estate—the historic winter retreat of hat maker John B. Stetson built in 1886—for its nationally acclaimed Christmas Spectacular. Each of the Gilded Age rooms is adorned with elaborate designer decorations, miniature train sets, thousands of antique ornaments, and intricate themed trees celebrating classic Christmas traditions.

Guides share fascinating family stories of Thomas Edison (who installed the estate's electricity) and historic holiday customs. The garden grounds feature blooming camellias and paved walking paths. Due to historic preservation, strollers are checked at the welcome pavilion and carrier packs are recommended for infants.
