The tour is ALWAYS a Guided Tour: The tour is over 40,000 square feet and one would get lost without a tour guide. There is not an option to walk thru on your own. We take approximately 15-17 people in a group, in timed increments to prevent 100’s of people in one area. (Safety for our guests.)
Masks or no masks: It is up to our guests and employees if they choose to wear a mask. BUT, we have private tours available. No one is added to your private group and you can request the tour guide to wear a mask. Call 330-721-6635.
Service dogs are welcome! Therapy pets are not permitted: If a service animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it, staff may request that the animal be removed from the premises.
