Age notesFoundation ticket tiers are Youth (6-17) on every tour. Tour FAQ: 'Guided Tours are not intended for children under the age of 6.' Children are welcome and youth/family programs exist, but the core tours are not aimed at children under 6, so ages under 6 are excluded.

BookingTickets are limited and 'ADVANCE RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED' on every tour listing; FAQ adds advance purchase is strongly recommended and busy days often sell out. Not open for casual visitation - a valid tour/program/event ticket is required.
