We have our own car so we will be driving to Oak Alley to purchase tickets. Once we have toured the Plantation are we able to buy tickets for the Swamp tour at the same ticket booth? We see the combined tour on the website but we don't need the transportation to and from since we have a car. How does all of this work?
A:
Hi, I bought everything online, when you buy the visit to the swamp it gives you the option to go in your own car.
Historic Site without "Big House" Exhibit is $25.01/adult or $7.41/child. This admission includes access to the historic site and all exhibits excluding the "Big House" exhibit.
Yes. I don’t have a problem purchasing a ticket there on site for admission, what I don’t really care for is having to go thru the third party tour booking. Just want to know if I show up and pay to get in can I tour??
A:
It is probably best to look at their official web site.
