You may go on a self-guided tour, but you need to book in advance for a guided tour. Both are great but you see more with a guided tour.
It was open when we were there but it was Fall. It was also foggy that you couldn't see the view.
The website and signs on the door said they were open Jan and Feb 10-4 Wed-Sun
No you don't need to book a tour. I believe that it is a self guided tour. Not sure if they are open during the winter months.
We went during the summer and it was open and you didn't have to pre book. I don't know about winter hours.
