Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: There's actually no strict age limit for this tour! Kids are welcome, but it really depends on their interest in art and history. Just keep in mind that some of the installations can be a bit spread out, so younger kids might get tired. It's a great family outing if they enjoy new experiences!

Q: Is the lunch at the Ski Inn included in the price?

A: No, lunch at the Ski Inn is not included in the ticket price. You should budget around $15-25 for a meal there. The food is really good, though! It’s a nice break and worth it to try their famous burgers.

Q: What do we wear for this tour? Is there a lot of walking?

A: Wear comfy clothes and good walking shoes! You’ll be exploring the art installations along the beach, and it can get a bit sandy. The tour does involve walking, but it’s not super strenuous. Just be prepared for some sun exposure too, so hats and sunscreen are a good idea!
