Tips & Advice

  • Buy your tour ticket in advance, because registration costs more at the door and you need a ticket to get in.
  • Wear flat, comfortable shoes, because the paths through the homes have uneven ground and steps and high heels are discouraged.
  • Use the restrooms at the Boutique, since restroom facilities are only available there and not at the homes.
  • Save your photos for each home's designated outdoor photo area, because photography isn't allowed inside the homes.
  • Bring an umbrella or rain jacket, since the tour goes ahead rain or shine and you walk between homes and gardens.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The Holiday Look In Boutique is free and open both tour days. You don't need a tour ticket.
  • Tour tickets cost less if you buy them in advance than at the door.
