Admission to Osborne House and grounds

Built especially for Queen Victoria and her husband, Osborne House gives visitors a keen insight into the tastes of royalty at the time. The lavish design of the State Rooms shows the might of the crown in the 19th century, while the family rooms show a more intimate side to the royal family.

Kids can learn about the lives of Victorian children at the Swiss Cottage, but one thing all visitors are likely to share an interest in is the Queen's Beach, which you're free to explore.
