- Book your tour slot in advance online rather than arriving without a reservation, as tours fill up quickly and walk-ins may face long wait times or unavailable slots
- Check in for admission at the new Visitor Center & Gift Shop located in The Marq building next door to the west, not at the mansion entrance itself
