Children under 6 cannot access the tower, though the covered walkway remains open in rain.Is it for me?Book a private tour if you want the guide to yourself and the tower included without an extra choice at checkout; book a group tour if you're traveling alone or with one other person and prefer a lower price, with the option to add the tower if the views matter to you. The 2- to 3-hour span fits a morning or an afternoon, leaving the rest of your day free.
