The Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association will welcome the public inside its historic Tournament House for complimentary guided tours starting Thursday, May 7, 2026. Offered every Thursday at 2:00 pm through August 27, the one‑and‑a‑half‑hour tours invite visitors to explore the traditions, history, and behind‑the‑scenes stories of one of Pasadena’s most iconic institutions.
Each tour accommodates up to 90 guests and is led by volunteer docents who share insights into the Rose Parade, the Rose Bowl Game, and the legacy of the Tournament House itself. Reservations are required and can now be made through the Tournament of Roses website.
Surrounding the mansion are the Wrigley Gardens, a lush landscape filled with vibrant roses and greenery. Visitors are welcome to picnic on the grounds before or after their tour, enjoying the serene setting that complements the historic home.
Tournament House does not have an elevator, and access to upper floors is via the original historic staircase. A video tour of the upstairs rooms will be available on the main floor for guests who prefer or require an alternative.
Visitors are asked to arrive ten minutes before the tour begins. Groups of 30 or more may arrange accommodations by calling (626) 449‑4100 or emailing membership@tournamentofroses.com.
