Q&A

Q: Can I reschedule the tour if the weather's bad?

A: Yes! The Woodlawn Cemetery self-guided tour is very flexible. Since it’s a self-guided experience, you can choose to go whenever you want. If the weather looks bad, just pick another day that suits you, and you can still use the app. Just keep in mind that you have unlimited access before and after your booking date, so it's super convenient.

Q: Is this suitable for kids?

A: While there’s no strict age limit, the content dives into some historical events and stories that might not be suitable for younger kids. If they’re into history or architecture, they might find it interesting. Just be ready to explain some of the more intense stories!

Q: How does the audio playback work? Do I need data?

A: The VoiceMap app works offline, so you won't need any data once it’s downloaded! Just make sure to preload the audio before heading out. It has GPS playback, so it'll guide you as you walk through the cemetery. Pretty neat, right?

Just did the Woodlawn Cemetery tour and it was awesome!

I just finished the self-guided audio tour at Woodlawn Cemetery in NYC, and wow, what a hidden gem! The stories were super interesting, especially about some of the Gilded Age residents. I loved having control over my pace. It took me about 2.5 hours because I lingered at a couple of spots. Totally worth the time! Plus, the app made navigation a breeze.

Thinking of gifting the Woodlawn Cemetery tour!

I’m considering gifting this audio tour to my friend who loves history and architecture. Has anyone done it? Is it engaging for adults? What’s the best time of year to go? I want it to be special!
