Creepy as expected since they added Halloween decorations and props. Guide is very good and knowledgeable. A bit claustrophobic with narrow passageways as you move from room to room.Full review by Bluette B
I'm planning to visit in January. I want to book the mansion tour followed by the explore more tour. Are they both guided or would we need to allot some exploration time?

All tours are guided. The house was built way before the ADA and is a physical challenge for many, not to mention it's truly a maze! The guides will keep you safe and oriented and keep up a scripted patter that's both educational (mostly factual) and entertaining. Be sure to call to check on what's open the day you intend to visit. I've experienced days when 2 or more of the tours were "down for maintenance," remodel or what have you. The cafeteria and museum should be open now, they were both closed in August 2019 when I was last at the house.
