A Mansion with Historic Roots
Originally the home of William Wrigley Jr., founder of the Wrigley chewing gum empire and owner of the Chicago Cubs, the mansion was donated to the City of Pasadena in 1958 by the Wrigley family with the request that it serve as the permanent headquarters of the Tournament of Roses.
Today, the Tournament House remains the symbolic heart of the organization, welcoming thousands of guests annually.
Explore the Gardens and Picnic on the Lawn
Surrounding the mansion are the Wrigley Gardens, spanning over four and a half acres and home to more than 1,500 varieties of roses, camellias, and seasonal blooms. Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the scenic grounds before or after their tour.
