Nice town. Lots of good restaurants. Be aware that all sight seeing areas are closed during the week. Traffic is heavy even midday midweek. The river is beautiful and the cemetery is amazing. Full review by kimberlyjR5919DY

Hi Samantha, There is limited access to the grounds without a ticket. You really can't get much further than the parking lot and the walk to the office. Lyndhurst on the other hand, right next door allows full access to the grounds and views of the river. The only ticketed access there is getting into the house. Sunnyside was worth the admission though. I hope this response isn't too late. I'm not sure about online tickets, check their website or the Tarry Town visitor's center. Enjoy! Jack
