Tips & Advice
- Wear shoes that are easy to slip off or cover, because each home may ask you to remove or cover them inside.
- Leave the stroller at home and carry little ones, because strollers and wagons aren't allowed and children in arms get in free.
- Finish any snacks or drinks before you go inside, because food, drink and smoking aren't allowed at any of the homes.
- Keep your camera for the outside of the homes, because interior photos are not allowed on the tour.
- Get tickets once sales open on October 20, and keep in mind they are non-refundable even if weather cuts the evening short.
