“This is a self-guided tour… Make sure to stop into the little room on the right to get the headphones so you can listen as you tour (at your own pace). No one told us to do this… We just happen to see everyone walking into this small building so we followed them in. Also, bring an umbrella! It wasn’t supposed to rain, but it started raining on us… Luckily we had rain jackets on. Most everything is inside, but there are times where you’re waiting outside to get into portions of the castle.”
