Greystone Mansion makes an enjoyable side trip while visiting Beverly Hills. The Mansion is only open for public tours one day each month, so advance tickets for the tour are a must.
Day-trippers are welcome to walk around Greystone Mansion Park free of charge. You can take a peek inside the windows, stroll around the grounds and enjoy the fantastic views of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.
Oil tycoon Edward Doheny built Greystone Mansion in 1928. The property had several owners over the years and is now run by the city and parks department. These days Greystone Mansion is mainly used as a filming location, a wedding venue, or a place to hold special events. Greystone Park may be closed on days when weddings or events are being held.
The list of movies and TV shows at the mansion is extensive, including three spider-man films, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Witches of Eastwick, Dark Shadows, Ghostbusters II, Murder, She Wrote, and hundreds more.
Outdoor events are only usually held in the garden area or courtyard. They include the annual Concours d’Elegance car show, Beverly Hills Flower & Garden Festival, and the Annual Hollywood Ball.
Greystone Mansion Park is free to visit, has free parking, and has public restrooms. Tours of the gardens are self-guided and only take about 30-minutes. The mansion is a lovely spot to visit, and if you are in town on a Beverly Hills day trip, it is well worth a visit. During the week, you will have the place to yourself; even on the weekend, it is quiet unless a wedding or event occurs.

Several years ago , I signed up for a tour of the mansion, paid $20 . Then the pandemic hit and the tour was cancelled and rebooked several times. Now the same tour is rescheduled for 2023… yet it seems the mansion is opened for public business! Why are we being push out to next year?
I think it is all about revenue
