Wish it was fully accessible for those with disabilities. I.e. wheelchairs. We found it very difficult to get around and a lot of going back-and-forth. We were unable to do most of the park scavenger hunt due to the non-accessibility.
Fun!

Super fun activity! It took a few minutes for the Viator email to come through to give the coupon code for the actual website to redeem the hunt, but just be patient and it will work. The final challenge didn’t work. The website gave me an error and when I tried to go back to the previous page, it took me to the home page. But whatever. Still had a fun time doing something a little different with coworkers while we were all out of town for work.

Very good tour. Good history lesson. Finding parking can be hard. We ended up parking on the street. A little difficult to start it but we did figure it out.
Redundant walking

Lots of needless back and forth walking. Interesting facts. Quests were somewhat tedious. Only made it 41% thru before group lost interest.
