Took my mother here for her birthday as she's a big fan of Prince. I'm a fan as well, but not to the level of my mother to where when we got our passes at the front desk the lady informed us that we can keep them she proceeds to yell out "YES!!!". Our tour guide Tommy was incredible, he spoke from the heart and had so much behind the scene stories and knowledge that it made our Ultimate tour that much more memorable.

At first, when you go through security you get the impression that they're guarding the nearest silos nuclear launch codes with how heavy the protocol is of having to turn off/lock up your phone and pat downs, etc. But once the tour begins you quickly realize why...this was Prince's studio AND his home. Something so private and delicate, certain areas left untouched by The Purple One. Absolutely incredible....to physically be in the same place where Prince once stood, to see why he did things the way he did and to just get that even deeper understanding of inarguably one of the greatest artists of our lifetime, you really can't find reason on why you shouldn't take the trip out to Paisley Park.
