I never thought I would ever get to walk on and tour one of these rigs, but here I am. This was freaking amazing. Well worth the $8 admission. The guide was informative and the tour was well over an hour. Amazing. There are a lot of stairs and slippery surfaces. Be careful walking. If you have any issues at all standing or walking, this is not the tour for you. To see this close up is simply amazing.

This was a very interesting tour! Bryce was a great guide - experienced, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a cold, rainy day when I was there, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Bryce also recommended local restaurants and I warmed up with hot chocolate afterwards at a little bakery/coffee shop he knew.
