The Breakers is an architectural masterpiece, and was home to one of America's wealthiest families, the Vanderbilts. Tours of the mansion tell stories of the Vanderbilts as well as the building of this grand estate and the ventures of its architects and designers. Thousands of visitors arrive at the spectacular 70-room palace every year to enjoy the many special events and guided tours the mansion has year round and to walk the elegant marble halls or stroll the green lawns that overlook the blue sea on the cliffs below. Admission: $16 adults, $4 children ages 6-17.
