They encourage exploring on your own and suggest asking a person wearing an “Ask me” button, if you have questions. We spent a lot of time and still didn’t see everything. I’d suggest calling to see whether there will be tours on the day you plan to visit. The tours aren’t frequent. I’m not sure whether there were any on the day we went. It would help to have an overview tour, so you’d know which sections you’d like to revisit, but it’s laid out sequentially, oldest to newest.
