It is an easy way for local families to try a mansion visit with children: download the free Newport Mansions audio tour app and bring earbuds, since both houses have children's audio tours with sound effects and characters, including the house itself narrating. Specialty tours such as Beneath the Breakers and the Third Floor tour are not included. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Holidays at the Newport Mansions](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/holidays-at-the-newport-mansions--listing-097a5c8a5027a062e43444d7) — Nov 21 – Jan 3 · The Breakers, Marble House and Chateau-sur-Mer, Newport · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 24.
