  • Book tickets in advance, especially for October, as prices increase and tours sell out quickly.

  • While generally family-friendly, be aware that dark topics are discussed; consider this when bringing younger children.
  • Note that no bathroom breaks are available during the 90-minute tour, so plan accordingly before departure.
