We took a carriage tour. Staff was super friendly and encourage my daughter to pet the horses. Our tour guide Jim was super knowledgeable and friendly and really helped paint a picture of the 3 days of battle. It was a great experience and are looking forward to our next trip and trying the horse back guided tour!
