Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive earlier in the day, especially on weekends, to allow ample time (3-4 hours recommended) to fully experience all the tours and grounds.
- Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as most of the experience is outdoors and involves walking on varied terrain.
- Consider purchasing tickets online in advance to streamline your entry, though tickets are valid for any single day of operation.
- If visiting with young children or those with mobility challenges, review the accessibility information carefully due to the outdoor terrain and historic building access.
- Check the special events calendar for any dates where regular tour operations might be impacted by other large events.
