| Forestiere Underground Gardens |

The Forestiere Underground Gardens are still owned and operated by the builder's nephew, Ric Forestiere and his family, who have been graciously sharing their family heritage with people from around the world for nearly 40 years. |
| ACCESSIBILITY |
| Out of respect for Baldassare Forestiere's work and for other visitors on tour, the Forestiere Family requests that visitors please respect the following tour policies: |
| Forestiere Underground Gardens are a true earth environment that remain somewhat untouched from their original beginnings. The tour grounds have small rooms and narrow passageways, which cannot accommodate throngs of visitors. To preserve the character of the grounds and ensure a safe and pleasant visit for everyone, the number of visitors at each tour hour is generally limited to about 20 - 25 per group, or two tour groups per hour. *Tours are on a first come, first served basis. *Group size is limited at 20 to 25 persons *Visitors wait upstairs at the entrance for the tour guide to open the gate and let them in, usually about 10 minutes before the tour hour. NOTE: There is no gift shop or picnic area at this time All tours are weather permitting only *Rain creates muddy conditions and tours may have to be cancelled at the last minute. We apologize for the inconvenience, but that is the nature of this site. |
| Please--do not bring your pets Service dogs on duty may be allowed on tour. |
| PHOTOGRAPHY |
| *Stay with your group and tour host so that you do not get lost. *Children must be within view of their parents at all times, and while this is a very fun place to explore, it is not a playground. *Do not venture into blocked off areas as they are not part of the tour. *Please do not sit or climb on planters or furnishings. *No food, beverages, or smoking permitted on tour, but water bottles are welcome. |
| WHEN ARRIVING FOR A TOUR... |
| NOTICE: *Management reserves the right to limit tour sizes for maximum enjoyment. *Tours last 50 minutes to an hour. *No self-guided tours. |
