If you like any kind of 19th and 20th century history, this is a great place to come. You can get a real feeling for how people lived in Galveston's early days here. The mansion has stood the test of time through the storms, and remains a testament to the determination of the Moody family to educate future generations about bygone lifestyles. They have a clever audio self-tour using handheld devices. This makes it easy to go at your own pace. The young man in the tour office was very polite, professional and clear. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because there was only one guided tour per day when we came, late in the afternoon. We would have preferred a guided tour if it had been available. If you're on the island looking for a more authentic experience than amusement parks and tourist traps, come take a quick tour here. It's worth it.

We have been to Galveston Texas multiple times and have never visited Moody Mansion located at 2618 Broadway Avenue J, Galveston Texas. The place is immaculate and it's free. Once we arrived we went into this section where the were multiple old cars. Really cool. Once we left there we walked around the garden which was absolutely beautiful. Once we walked to the front door a nice young lady gave us some history about the mansion. When she was finished we were allowed to tour and enter all the bedrooms, bathrooms etc. Everything was original and not redone. The clothes the hats and jewelry display were fabulous. There was so much to see we will be going back. If you're in Galveston Texas and have the time. Check out Moody Mansion located at 2618 Broadway Avenue J. You will not be disappointed.

Great for history lovers. It's a beautiful house and has a variety of tour options, including self-guided, which is what I prefer. When you buy your tickets, they give you a QR to scan for an audio guide, then you just explore the first and second floor of the house on your own. It's really nice. You get to take your time, which was really good for our group of mixed language speakers. They have guided tours as well, if that's more your thing. I think the guided tours open up the third floor, as well. It's a 10 minute drive from the ferry, and right next to Downtown, so I def recommend dropping by. It's extra pretty during Christmas.

The ladies taking payments for the tour and giving out the tour guide listening devices were kinda rude actually. They treated us like we were stupid. Other than that I enjoyed my experience and was amazed at how well the house is beautifully kept. Everyone working inside the mansion was very kind. My neice was only 2 at the time and we were able to keep her quiet and interested by allowing her to listen to the guide device. She thought she was talking on the phone with the girl who grew up there! It's a good time for all ages and very interesting to people who like to glimpse into the past. The beautiful detail will blow you away.
