• ARE LATE ARRIVALS PERMITTED? WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I CAN’T MAKE THE TOUR TIME?

  Tours go every hour on the hour and late arrivals can affect other guests’ experiences. To keep this schedule moving for all guests, it is important that we start tours on time. We suggest that you plan to arrive 15-20 minutes ahead of your scheduled tour to allow time for the unexpected.

  We do recognize that sometimes things happen that we can’t control. If you are running late, please contact us as soon as possible at 888-592-6872 (leave a message if we don’t answer) to let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you. If the next tour is not full, we may be able to have you join that one.
