Tour Tip
You may want to take the outdoor tours (Architecture and Garden) earlier vs later in the day, especially in the summer before it gets too hot. During one of our visits in February, temperatures soared to 80°!
Note: Umbrellas are provided free of charge to use during the outdoor tours — great for rainy days and helpful for keeping you cool from the sun — it can get very hot, especially during summer months.
