The Week
The Week does not unlock this route: every stop is free to read here. It guides you through it on the day. Across 41 mi of driving, it keeps the nearest stop next, and the map works with no signal. It covers the other 6 routes as well, so the next one costs you nothing extra.
$9 for 7 days · One payment, nothing renews.
Your seven days start in town, when you press Start the day on a paid route or arrive at one of its stops.
The app is on iPhone November 5. The Week is bought inside it, so there is nothing to pay for until then.
It starts at Boone Hall and ends at Cypress Gardens. The stops are ordered so the route does not double back.
About 3h for 7 stops, covering 41 miles. That is measured driving time plus the time each stop is worth, not the drive alone.
The locations, the order and what was filmed at each are free to read on this page. The Week covers carrying the route in the app, which sorts the stops by how far away you are, tells you when you have arrived while it is open, and keeps its map and photographs when there is no signal.
Not all of them are walk-ups. Boone Hall needs a ticket; The Williams Mansion can only be seen on a guided tour; Cypress Gardens needs a ticket. The rest are public and free to stand at.
