Prince’s Estate Will Be Opened Up To The Public

Graceland is providing the initial funds for capital improvements and operating costs.

The physical Paisley Park home of Prince is expected to draw millions of Prince fans, according to the company behind the Paisley Park tours.

The guided tours will reportedly take visitors through the recording studios, rehearsal rooms, private music club and concert hall on the main floor of Paisley Park. Additionally, thousands of personal artifacts from Prince’s archives – concert wardrobe, awards, instruments, artwork, rare recordings and more – will be on display. A “VIP Tour” for small groups will also be available, priced at $100 or more per ticket, according to the plans.

The tours will run 70 minutes, with a maximum guest stay of two hours during peak times, and the estate will have 24/7 security. No walk-up sales will be allowed.

The plan requires rezoning approval from the city, which posted documents about the plan on its website.

An application for development review and a business plan were submitted to the City of Chanhassen. Visit OfficialPaisleyPark.com for ticket information and future Paisley Park updates.
