Additional Information:
Because the tour is outside, we recommend that our visitors prepare for weather appropriately by bringing umbrellas, sunscreen, and bug spray, as necessary. We also recommend comfortable walking shoes suitable for gravel pathways. The pathways are wheelchair and handicap accessible, but depending on weather conditions, the gravel may be a hinderance to individuals.
Certain structures on the tour are only accessible via a small number of steps, but the interior of these structures can be seen from outside.
We operate tours rain or shine.
