Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the entrance — a screenshot works fine.

Are the guided tours really free, or do I need to book separately?

They're included with your admission. Tours depart at 10:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, and 3:00 PM — just turn up at the meeting point inside the quarter.

Is the Colonial Quarter suitable for young children?

Yes. The interactive demonstrations and watchtower climb tend to engage children well. Children under 5 enter free of charge.

How long should I allow for the visit?

Duration isn't fixed — you move at your own pace. Joining one of the guided tours and taking in all the demonstrations typically takes a couple of hours.

Is the site accessible for visitors with mobility needs?

Please contact the Colonial Quarter directly before your visit to confirm accessibility arrangements, as the watchtower climb may not be suitable for all guests.

What happens if it rains?

Some demonstrations and the watchtower are outdoors, so weather can affect the experience. Check the forecast and bring a light layer — the site operates in most conditions.
