The Breakers was decorated for the holiday, but visit anytime to learn the history and about the mansions structure. The fireplaces are amazing as well as the view.Full review by Trip16391587685

You are missing a treat by not visiting the inside! If you take the time to research where the cost of admission goes, there isn’t a better value for the money spent.
