Questions and answers

answered by Voykit editors · dated
Is it worth a special trip?

No. It costs nothing and sits between the museum and the fort, so add it to the waterfront walk.

Checked 2026-09-29 · Voykit desk

Can I go inside the Legislative Assembly?

Sittings and visits follow the Assembly's own rules; check with the Assembly office before planning around it.
