This was a fantastic tour! I was skeptical on how fun a tour of a general store could be, but we had a wonderful time. Our guide was informative, funny, and stayed in character the whole time. Our family, which included a 10 year old, was engaged the whole time. Our son was even chosen to be part of the tour a few times and that was a fun perk for us. I highly recommend doing this tour!

My sister and I went in March and we absolutely enjoyed this tour! It was really engaging and informative. You get to see a lot of cool stuff - and some of it still works! It was very interactive. Ruby was our "shopkeeper" and she was amazing!!!!
