Fleurs de Villes 2026: The Gilded Age Blooms at Greystone Mansion!
Updated: 15 hours ago
Imagine a ball gown made entirely of fresh hydrangeas, a top hat stitched from roses, and a parasol that actually smells like a garden. That is the magic of Fleurs de Villes, the traveling flower show that dresses mannequins in thousands of real blooms. This fall, it lands at one of the most storied homes in Southern California: Greystone Mansion & Gardens in Beverly Hills.
Fleurs de Villes THE GILDED AGE runs for just eight days, October 28 through November 4, 2026, and every floral figure is inspired by the characters and costumes of the HBO Original series The Gilded Age. We rounded up everything LA parents need to know, from ticket prices and the free shuttle to how to keep little hands (and noses) happy around all those petals.

What Is Fleurs de Villes?
Fleurs de Villes (French for "flowers of the cities") is a global flower show that pairs a theme with local floral talent. Each designer receives a mannequin and turns it into a wearable sculpture using fresh flowers, foliage, moss and branches. According to the organizers, the company has produced more than 160 shows in 35 cities across five countries, working with over 1,600 floral artists.
Past shows have celebrated remarkable women, historic icons and even the world of Downton Abbey. The Beverly Hills stop is part of a collaboration with HBO Max, and the City of Beverly Hills says Greystone is the fourth stop on a six-venue national tour. You can read the city's own announcement on the official Beverly Hills Fleurs de Villes page.
What Your Family Will See Inside Greystone Mansion
The exhibition takes place indoors, winding through the grand rooms of the historic mansion. Think of it as a fashion show where the models never blink and every outfit is alive, fragrant and completely one of a kind.
Floral Mannequins Inspired by The Gilded Age
More than 15 fresh floral mannequins fill the house, each one created by a different Beverly Hills-based floral designer. The looks draw on the show's best-known characters, including the bold, statement-making style of Bertha Russell, the old-money elegance of Agnes van Rhijn, the quieter charm of Marian Brook and the modern outlook of Peggy Scott.
Kids do not need to know a single character to enjoy this. To a six-year-old, it is simply a room full of princess-worthy gowns made of flowers, and that is more than enough.
Live Floral Demonstrations
Throughout the run, floral artists lead live demonstrations, so your family can watch a design come together stem by stem. It is a great moment to point out how florists use texture and color, the same way kids use crayons and paper at home.
Vote for Your Favorite Mannequin
Every guest gets to cast a vote for a favorite floral creation. Kids take this job very seriously, so expect a heated family debate on the way out. Merchandise and gifts are also sold on site while supplies last.
Is Fleurs de Villes Good for Kids?
Yes, with a little planning. All ages are welcome, and the visit is short enough for most attention spans. We think it works best for curious kids around five and up, especially young artists, fashion lovers and anyone who has ever made a flower crown.
Toddlers and babies are welcome too, since children 3 and under are free. Just remember this is a look-don't-touch exhibit in a historic house, so wiggly little ones may do better in a carrier than on the loose.
A few house rules to know before you go: food and drinks are not allowed inside the exhibition, only service animals are permitted, and anyone under 17 must be with an adult. The displays release pollen and fragrance, so families with hay fever, asthma or scent sensitivities should plan accordingly.
Parent tip: Turn the visit into a scavenger hunt. Before you walk in, ask kids to find a rose, something purple, a hat, a flower they have never seen before and their pick for "best dressed." It keeps them looking closely instead of racing ahead.
Fleurs de Villes Tickets and Prices
Tickets are sold by timed entry, with sessions every half hour. Here are the current prices listed on the official ticket page:
Adult (18+): $34
Reduced (seniors 65+, students 18 to 25, youth 13 to 17, visitors with disabilities and military): $31
Child (4 to 12): $26
Infant (0 to 3): Free
Companion for a visitor with a disability: Free, booked alongside a paid ticket
A $2.50 booking fee is added to each paid ticket, and every ticket includes the free shuttle ride. For a family of two adults and two kids ages 4 to 12, plan on about $130 including fees.
Want a snack break? You can add a Crateful charcuterie box (about $23) to your order and enjoy it on the terrace. Food and drinks are also sold on site, but the organizers recommend ordering boxes in advance.
A few policies worth knowing: date changes are allowed up to 48 hours ahead, but there are no refunds. There will be a box office on site, though popular times may sell out, so booking ahead is smart. Groups of more than six can ask about a group rate. You can book your Fleurs de Villes tickets here.
Parking and the Free Shuttle to Greystone
Here is the most important logistics detail: there is no event parking at Greystone Mansion for this event. Instead, park downtown and hop on the complimentary shuttle, which runs continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The ride takes less than 15 minutes.
The recommended spot is the City of Beverly Hills garage at 450 N. Crescent Drive, in front of City Hall, where shuttles pick up and complimentary valet is available. Other city garages at 333 N. Crescent Drive and 9333 W. 3rd Street also work, at posted rates. Rideshare drop-offs at the venue are fine too.
Parent tip: Arrive at the garage about 30 minutes before your ticket time. Late arrivals may be moved to the next open slot, but that is not guaranteed.
Why Greystone Mansion Is the Perfect Stage
Greystone has the kind of backstory that fits a Gilded Age theme beautifully. Oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny gave the estate to his son Ned as a wedding gift, and construction on the Tudor-style manor began in 1927. The family moved in the following year.
The home covers more than 46,000 square feet with 55 livable rooms, set on 18.3 acres of terraced gardens. The City of Beverly Hills bought the property in 1965 and dedicated it as a public park in 1971. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and you can dig into more details on the city's Greystone history page.
If your kids love it, come back another day to explore the grounds on your own. Our guide to exploring Greystone Mansion with kids covers the gardens, the views and what makes this park worth a return trip.
Parent Tips for a Smooth Visit
Pick a weekday or an early slot. With only eight days, weekends will be the busiest. A 10 or 11 a.m. weekday session is usually calmer.
Feed everyone first. Since food is not allowed inside, a snack in the car or at the garage keeps meltdowns away.
Pack allergy basics. Tissues and any usual allergy medicine are smart with this many fresh flowers.
Snap away, politely. Photos are encouraged, but tripods and professional gear are not allowed, and walkways should stay clear.
Know where the restrooms are. Public restrooms are in the original firehouse near the mansion.
Plan for accessibility. For step-free entry, exit the shuttle at its second stop on the mansion level; after check-in, guests who want to avoid stairs can use the west door.
Make a day of it. Pair the show with lunch and a stroll around town using our list of fun things to do in Beverly Hills with kids.
