• The park is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
  
• The group should see a 12-minute film highligting Truman and his home.
  
• The group will then travel to the Truman Home where they will start at their reserved times.
  
• Due to Resource Protection, group size will be limited to 8 per tour (including teachers and chaperones) when touring through the home. Groups will experience some waiting time.
