SENIORS' TOURS
We offer tours to groups of seniors in all seasons. We are wheelchair and walker friendly and can provide an interesting tour at any time of the year. The length of your tour and the topics and features can be tailored to suit your group. Bring your own lunch or we can cater a light lunch or snack for an extra fee. The tour is $5 per person.
​
Please note that we have a large open area with picnic tables which could be used for a "social distancing" type outing, where seniors can have a day out and eat a bagged lunch with minimal contact with people from outside their group.
