Guided tours of the Pardee Home are our most important offering to the public. Because all of our furnishings and collections are original and authentic, without exception, we offer a remarkable look at the life of the Pardee family within these walls from 1869 through 1981. On the ground floor we visit the three formal front parlors (main, candlestick, and music), the informal back parlor, and dining room. On the second floor we visit the three original bedrooms, several closets containing period clothing, the billiard room, the curio room, and the hallway lined with cabinets of Mrs. Pardee's antiquities. We also allow our visitors the rare privilege of visiting our cupola, or tower, to admire the views from atop the Pardee Home.

Finally, we will see the gardens and our historic, all-redwood carriage house. The carriage house is a remarkable survivor in downtown Oakland once threatened with demolition to make way for an on-ramp to Interstate 980, but still intact with horse stalls, tack room, bins, and a rickety stairway to the hayloft area.

The Pardee Home has been described as the finest intact Italianate villa estate remaining in Northern California, and our guided tours offer a rare opportunity to see almost all of it!

GUIDED TOURS: The museum is available for guided tours year-round EXCEPT that tours are not available on certain Holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Day, for example). Regular tours are given every Saturday at 10:30 am and on the Second Sunday of each month at 2:00 pm. Reservations are recommended but not required. Group tours may be arranged on any day anytime between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm. Tours are approximately one and a half hours. If possible, please make reservations for group tours at least a week in advance. Minimum donation $5 per person. Suggested donation $10 per person. Children 12 and under are always free. Admission at the door by cash or check only!
