Bovaird House is generally open year-round, but hours and guided tours can be seasonal (spring through fall are most active). Winter visits may be limited to pre-booked tours or special events, as the house is historic and not always fully heated. Checking the City of Brampton or Heritage Brampton website before visiting is recommended.
