Tips & Advice
- Arrive 15 minutes early to find the gathering spot in the Fort George parking lot, marked by black capes and lanterns.
- Purchase tickets in advance online, especially for Halloween tours, as they sell out quickly and are not available at the time of the tour.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as the tour involves a significant amount of walking within the historic site.
- Consider a private tour if you're interested in a more in-depth, investigative experience or if you wish to use flash photography.
- Dress in layers, as evenings can be cool, especially within the historic fort, even during summer months.
