The house is currently under construction, but you can tour the visitors centre they offer a free 10 minute tour upon arrival, grounds, and gardens. The garden is planted to be historically accurate and is super beautiful to walk around. The gardening staff and super knowledgeable and friendly and will give you a tour around.
Lovely staffs and very informative tour. Kids loved the garden activities! There are 2 ev chargers which makes this the first stop of our visit in Kingston while charging! Very convenient!
The house is now under renovation. However, you can explore the historical gardens and small museum inside the visitor center free of charge. Museum’s staff is super welcoming and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to find out a history of the house in a very entertaining way. We will come back once Bellevue House will reopen its doors to the public.
I had a fantastic time exploring the Bellevue House this past weekend! All of the staff onsite are outstanding. They are highly knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. It’s clear that they want every person who visits to have the best experience possible. I thoroughly enjoyed learning all sorts of interesting facts about the history of the house i.e., specific ways the house was designed to appear more lavish than it really was and exploring the beautiful garden i.e., kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate, lamb’s ear. Thank you to all of the lovely ladies at the house and visitor’s centre – you made it a wonderful experience for me.
The house itself was closed so we couldn’t explore it but the gardens were great and so were the staff. Also great that they recognized that Indigenous people were purposely left out of the formation of Canada.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Interesting old place to visit. The house is under renovation when I visited and it was free entree. The people are so good inside. There is a free tea coffee with chance to taste the food grown in yard organic. There are toys displayed that were remade to look like how toys were then. There is a pretty old tree in the back yard. Worth watching!!
This is the former residence of Canada’s first prime minister. There are three service staff and free tours, but at present it can only be visited in the garden. The house is under renovation and cannot be entered temporarily. The door opens at 9 am and closes at 4 pm.
Took a great tour through this property. We were there in the summer months where there are guided tours, all in costume from the correct time period. There was a lot of valuable information presented by our guide who was very good. I would suggest paying the nominal amount to get the guided tour as it made it much more enjoyable.
