The staff was so helpful and personable! Jay treated us when we first got there and offered to bump us up to an earlier tour since we were early. The tour itself was a great length for kids, and I loved that Parker encouraged questions. Our one daughter is afraid of heights, and the bridge did spook her a bit, but she was able to do it. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!
