Educational & fun! - It was an amazing experience! Despite the rain, we enjoyed seeing and hearing about Dr. Kellogg's philosophy and inventions. Better yet you got to experience some of them. Our guide was so knowledgeable and witty. We learned new things and had fun, too.

Interesting tour and information. - We reserved tickets ahead of time. Docent led tour started in the main building and contained review of artifacts from the Sanitarium. Then, we visited several buildings on the grounds including the school, 2 churches, log cabin and home of Ellen White. Very interesting information and we learned a lot about the Seventh Day Adventist. Time well spent.

Charged for a closed event! - You charged me for something that was closed! Refund my money! My name isn’t even Peggy! You were informed that they were closed by the caretaker and yet you still are selling tickets! What a rip off by TripAdvisor!
