Overall: 5/5 LongHouse Illuminated Event: 1/5 (Photos below are only from the illumination event) Absolutely love the LongHouse! As a local I have visited this 16 acre garden almost every year. I have great memories of school field trips, participating in the student art competitions, taking my high school senior banquet photos here and more. There are countless contemporary sculptures including permanent items and items on loan. Almost every time you come back there is something new and wonderful to look at! (The Red Garden is my favorite). It's also fun to look for frogs and turtles in the pond! You'll have a great time just strolling through the garden (especially during the summer) or when attending an after hours event. Just plan accordingly, come soon to get parking otherwise you'll have to park on the street. Overall I usually have a fantastic experience. If you're visiting The Hamptons, definitely check out The LongHouse Reserve! Despite my love for the LongHouse, I do have the rate the LongHouse Illuminated experience a 1/5. I would not recommend this event. It's a pretty hefty price for not much to look at ($35 for Non-Members, $20.00 for members, $15.00 for students and FREE for Children under 12 years old). When you first walk in the Docents will check you in since you have to register online. They were incredibly kind and helpful. After that the shop and restrooms are to your left. (I bought a cute beanie!) From there I started walking on the path and wrote my wish on the Wish Tree. The paths were poorly lit and only a few sculptures were illuminated. There was a small hut with a tacky snowflake projection on it. I mildly regret paying $35 per person to attend an illumination event when only thing really illuminated was the path. However, the Fly's Eye Dome and the House were incredible! We weren't able to stray off the path so it was a quick 20 minute walk through the entire thing. I was considering walking through it again but I told myself there's nothing to look at, it'll be better to walk through town and look at the lights. They had snacks and complementary hot chocolate, wine, or cold cider at the pavilion (and the cups were only filled, literally, 1/3 of the way up). Can I get my time (and money) back lol read more

Manager repeatedly questioned my 70-year-old Asian mother after payment was verified. Felt discriminatory and humiliating.

Amazing 16 acre sculpture garden. I had this bookmarked on my Yelp for years. I was going out to the South fork to Wolfer Estate ,and needed something to do before prior to our reservation. This place is truly magical. I felt like I was no longer on Long Island. It is beautifully done. I don't want to give too much, just go take a stroll and enjoy mother nature with beautiful sculptures of art. read more

Breathtaking, mind-blowing, amazing are three words to describe LongHouse Reserve. This is such a hidden gem on Long Island if you are an art lover and nature lover. The gardens are beautiful and will spark your curiosity and imagination around every corner. I've been here twice now and each time the staff have also been welcoming and friendly. Don't think twice, just buy the ticket and go! read more

Under a rock I've been. Not till this Thanksgiving did I learn of LongHouse Reserve. Sixteen acres of nature filled with capturing sculptures and art installations. Heavenly was this late afternoon. Cherishing the peaceful stroll, the sun rays streaking through the fall color leaves, the trickling of water from sculptures, the blissful areas for reading, being amongst art and nature. CHEERS! read more

Best $10-$15 spent for a gorgeous garden, sculpture park, and museum whether you're a senior or adult. It's even kid-friendly! The staff is friendly to help take photos and guide you. Parking can be tight, so it's a good thing they only take timed reservations to reduce crowds. I'll be back for sure! read more

Longhouse reserve obviously inspired by east asian designs. It is neither grand or pompous, but rather inviting you to a calm searching and discovering experience. We love how Longhouse respect their sculptures, giving each of them a mini stage, put in spot where you'll see them whether by walking through row of trees or strolling a narrow meandering path. We especially like the 12 chinese zodiac statues, someone need to make a night horror film set in that location. Go here and spoil your senses, you won't regret it. read more

What a wonderful place to spend time when in the Hamptons. The grounds are beautiful. and I had never seen such a display of artwork from international artists. The docent was knowledgeable and enthusiastically answered our questions about the collection of sculptures in the gardens. Most important for me is that they were able to accommodate people with mobility issues to ensure that everyone would have the opportunity to enjoy this magnificent place. read more

A must visit when you're in the hamptons! The grounds were beautiful! The fall foliage made it even more gorgeous. We saw the entire ground within an hour. Because there is a limited number of tickets per hour, we felt very safe. FYI- The bathrooms are open! read more

Wonderful place slightly off. The beaten path. A great break from the hamptons crowds almost any day. A wonderful combination of landscape gardens with lots of thoughtfully sited sculptures throughout. Their hours are tricky so be sure to check online when they are open. read more

Happy place. The art inspires and puts a smile on your face. If I lived nearby, I would want to work here, surrounded by beauty. They have limited hours which makes it difficult to visit often. Love the little gift shop as well. read more

I am no great fan of nature. Getting me to a botanical garden, is something that generally involves a lot of kicking and screaming. You put sculptures in a botanical garden, and to me, it's still a botanical garden with some stuff in it. But the Long House somehow is different. I loved it. Mainly, it's not a botanical garden with stuff in it. It was designed from its inception to be both sculptures and garden. And it is magnificent. The plants may be nice. I have no idea. I remember hearing that they have a lot of different kinds of grasses. Whatever. But to see sculptures in this setting, is truly a treat. If you go, do yourself a favor, and don't leave without ringing the bells. read more

Going to the LongHouse Reserve was an amazing experience that I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to go here. LongHouse Reserve is a 16 acre reserve and sculpture garden located in East Hampton, NY and there is so much to see in this place. You will see gardens that are extremely well maintained, sculptures throughout the reserve, and a large variety of plants/flowers. You can scan a bar code and listen in different areas of the reserve to learn more about the sculptures, plant life, art, etc. This place has something around every corner that is amazing and anyone can spend hours in this place and not be able to take in all of its beauty. I would definitely recommend going to this place. There is a small gift shop where you can purchase items if you would like. The last time I was here, you need to wear a mask in order to shop inside. Things are changing so I don't know if that is the case. The gounds of this place are amazing and I would definitely take your time in walking through this place to take in and appreciate all the beauty in this place. read more

The place is beautiful, and very unique, but way out of price in terms of entrance fees, versus lots of other beautiful sculpture gardens around the country. Not very affordable for the average person. Appears to mainly cater to the member elite. The Planting Fields Arbore near Oyster Bay are more amazing and free to the public. read more

This place is extraordinary. If we lived here we'd go everyday! Beautiful grounds. Amazing sculptures. Art and artistic touches everywhere. And you can tell how much the people who work there. Juan who runs the gift shop is a great representative. They're lucky to have him there. read more

Really darling spot. Glad to be a member and support preservation of agriculture and art. Worth a trip!

Free admission for students. Wonderful experience if your up in montauk and looking for a day or wandering and relaxation. The garden was quiet, beautiful, and immaculate. Bunnies roaming the property. Could've have asked for a better time. Lay under a tree and gaze at the tall trees above. Bathrooms on site. read more

Oh my! What a treat on a nice summer day! I wasn't really there for the artwork, although it was very nice. I was there to see the gardens. They were beautifully maintained. Lots of interesting specimens and natives. The place is a bit out of the way and of course you have to deal with Hamptons traffic, but it is definitely worth it. read more

A friend and I recently visited here. It was a perfect day to drive out east and wander through the Hamptons. I love the natural settings and walking the gardens. I was surprised by the number of people there for a weekday, but everyone was quiet and respectful. I liked the idea of the on-cell tour guide where you call in and get an audio tour. But mostly it was just nice to meditate on the sculptures and relax. read more

Why isn't this park ever open? "We are open from Wednesday to Saturday 2-5pm." So basically when *everyone's working* OR a tiny 3 hour window that .0005% of the interested population might ever be able to visit. I'm a volunteer myself and patron of the arts, and disappointed I couldn't visit here on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday when we were here. read more

This is literally one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life. The sculpture garden is very impressive. The air smells sweet here because of all of the flowers. My boyfriend and I bumped into Matko Tomicic (Executive Director) and the three of us were talking about art and he invited us into the office and gifted us a lovely book. We couldn't have had a better time visiting the LH Reserve. read more

This place is an absolute gem. Incredible nature, landscaping, art, and furniture spread out over a sprawling estate. We brought our nieces there (7 & 8) and they went nuts! Best part is that kids are free. If you in the area, or even if you have to drive an hour, you have to check it out. Just check their calendar to make sure they are open, as they keep inconsistent hours. read more

Totally rad. A small but stunning collection of installations and sculptures, integrated with fantastic gardens.

After a morning at the beach, this garden is a wonderful, peaceful respite from all the activity and traffic. Gorgeous landscaping and hidden sculptural surprises in every nook, fun paths to walk down and cleverly placed benches on which to sit and enjoy it all. The friendly staff member at the gate offered us scavenger hunt maps for the kids as well as an informative introduction to the garden. We all very much enjoyed the trip. read more

Pure quality. Beautiful garden. Great sculpture. Superb ambiance. Pity it's not open more often. But when it is definitely worth a visit. U wander around the perfectly manicured garden seeing 40 or so exhibits each set in its own area. Some if the exhibits are massive and amazing. Others funny. Others serene. It combines for a wonderful experience. read more
