Tips & Advice
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as most tours involve significant walking through historic areas.
- Dress in layers, as tours and investigations often take place outdoors or in unheated historic buildings, even in cooler weather.
- Bring a flashlight for evening tours and investigations; while guides provide lanterns, extra light can be helpful.
- Book tickets in advance, especially for paranormal investigations, as group sizes are limited and tours can sell out quickly.
- Check the specific event details for age recommendations, as some investigations may be more suitable for older audiences.
