useful information
If you wish to visit both experiences, each guest will need to pre-book separate Rectory and War Rooms start times. Please allow enough time to complete each experience. The trip through the Rectory can take from 30 minutes to an hour depending on how curious you are. The War Rooms are a timed experience of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. It will take roughly 5 minutes to walk from the Rectory to the War Rooms.
Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your first reservation time so that you can view the Introduction Video.
Visitors with an Annual or Neighbour’s Pass who wish to visit the Rectory or the War Rooms will also need to pre-book a separate time slot for each experience. The validity of the pass will be checked with your photo ID in the Welcoming Area.
If you are planning to visit in a group of more than 6 people, please reach out to us at hello@thestoryofemily.com. We can assist with reservations for up to 10 people per time slot and help you with the best combinations for visiting the Rectory and War Rooms.
