Wrigley Mansion, also called Tournament House, is at 391 S Orange Grove Blvd in Pasadena, within the Los Angeles area. The former Wrigley family home is now the headquarters of the Tournament of Roses, which plans the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game here. Walk the garden paths among roses, camellias and other plants, or reserve a free guided tour to see the mansion’s rooms and learn about its architecture and Tournament of Roses history. The garden can be visited without taking the house tour.
The Wrigley home and Tournament House
Wrigley Mansion is also known as Tournament House, reflecting its current role as the headquarters of the Tournament of Roses. The organization plans the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game here, and the mansion is part of the preparations for those events.
The house was built for chewing-gum businessman William Wrigley Jr. and later became the Tournament of Roses’ home. Its early 20th-century architecture and interiors are part of the guided tour. The organization’s work also includes choosing the Rose Queen and princesses and preparing them for their duties.
What the guided tour covers
The free house tour begins with a video about the mansion and the Tournament of Roses. Visitors then see rooms on the first and second floors with a guide. The tour covers the Wrigley family, the house’s architecture and the property’s connection to the Tournament of Roses. Furniture, architectural details, trophies and jewelry are among the objects inside.
The basement and attic are not part of the tour. House tours require an advance reservation and are held one day a week. The garden is a separate option if you would rather see the grounds without going inside.
The gardens and grounds
Paths lead through the grounds beside the mansion, with rose beds, camellias and other plants. There is also a gazebo and a large front lawn. The garden is free to enter, so you can take a walk and look around without booking a house tour.
Camellias bloom in March, when the rose bushes may not yet be flowering. For a visit centered on the roses, check the garden in a different part of the season rather than assuming they will be in bloom during an early spring visit.
