Visitors Are Free to Walk Around the Property
Greystone is one of the largest mansions in Beverly Hills and an important landmark for American cinema. Originally built by oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny in 1927 as a gift to his son, Ned, Greystone now represents a golden age in American cinema. Many films, including "The Big Lebowski" and "Ghostbusters," and television shows like "General Hospital" and "Gilmore Girls" have been shot on these gothic-inspired grounds. Today, the interior of the mansion is closed, but visitors are free to walk around the property. Many visitors call Greystone Mansion a "hidden gem" within LA, saying that it offers respite from the city's hustle and bustle. Travelers describe the park grounds as spectacular, with expertly manicured lawns, a variety of flowers, artful fountains and even a koi pond. The grounds are open to the public every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with extended hours in the summer. There is no admission fee, and free on-site parking is available. For more information, visit the Friends of Greystone website and the City of Beverly Hills' Greystone Mansion page.

A Beautiful Place Perfect for a Walk
Greystone Mansion is definitely a historic site gem in Los Angeles County worth checking out. Nestled up in Beverly Hills, it was completed in 1928 by oil tycoon Edward Doheny. It’s a beautiful place perfect for a walk and it’s impossible not to get lost in thought. It’s easy to spend an hour or so admiring the beautiful Gothic architecture, gardens, fountains, the koi pond, and the views of LA it offers are quite nice to look at. It’s a great spot to relax, meditate, sit and read a book, away from the busyness that is found all around LA. The place is frequently used for weddings and has been used as a filming location in moves like Spiderman and The Social Network. It’s also a great place for those who enjoy taking photos. Parking and admission are free at Greystone. Highly recommended!
