How much does it cost?

The price of a self-guided tour is absolutely free; however, if you prefer to tour with an official guide, it will run you twenty dollars per adult and fifteen dollars per child seventeen and younger.

It is wise, however, to call ahead to ensure Wynwood is open to the public on the day of your visit as it is available to book for private events, such as weddings, intimate dinner parties, and other activities.
