I went to Castle Noel on 12/23/13 so it was a little crazy and unorganized being so close to Xmas. We bought time slots but had to wait about 40min before we were let in for our tour. I didn't know what to expect going into the tour, I didn't know anyone that went to it before. The tour took us around an hour at this time of year with so many people there. Some of the tour guides were really good and some weren't as good, they each run sections of the tour. It offers a lot of stuff to look at and at the end you get to slide down the slide just like in Christmas story the movie. This was a ton of fun! Overall the three of us that went really enjoyed it and are thinking of making it a yearly event.
