Hi Joan. Our tours are self guided and typically take 1 - 3 hours for guests to complete. Some guests choose to quickly travel through each venue, while others enjoy engaging with each of our exhibits and historic interpreters. Touring the aquarium also takes about 1-3 hours. You should be able to visit both in one day. If you run out of time, the park's admission is good for two consecutive days.
Would a 13 month old who loves walking enjoy this?
A:
Oh yes! Lots of things to look at there. And there are places to sit along the way if you get tired. There are also a lot of exhibits which are interactive. Enjoy your day!

Much of the best parts of the park are outside venues...the blacksmith, the sailing ship, etc. The movie (which is pretty good) is inside, as well as a great gift shop and a small museum. Maybe the rain would make it all a little more realistic...? :)
