"Tickets for the horse wagon ride were $5 per person and are available in January and February only. I loved learning the history of the Chautauqua Institution and this was the highlight of our trip. If you need to use the bathroom there is not one in the bookstore and they will tell you there is one in the Hultquist Center straight ahead past the bookstore (picture of the building is the second picture)."
"If you are looking for books and unique gift items in a beautiful setting, look no future. The staff is friendly and the experience year around is unforgettable."
