Back to the Future: Doc Brown's 1955 House

We went on a Saturday, and they have a couple tours from 1-3pm. We got lucky because it's just one of the few times they allow people to take pictures inside the house. You will need to buy tickets at gift store (which is in the garage). You're not allowed to touch anything except when they instruct you to.

There are no public restroom. The gift shop lady will tell you to use the one in the house, and the tour guide will tell you not to use anything in the house and use the one in the gift store. It's just a hassle. So mind that when you visit.

If you pay to become members, they will refund the ticket price.
