โ€œThis was probably the coolest part of the tour! You can now go inside one of two hobbit holes, where you can interact with props, sit on the furniture, marvel at the fake food, and read the books on the bookshelf. It really is a unique moment on the tour and makes you feel a part of the magic! I cannot emphasize enough the amazing detail they put into these hobbit homes. We spent over 20 minutes going through the little house on our own.โ€

โ€œOne of the biggest highlights (new for 2024!) was actually getting to go INTO a hobbit house. You heard me right! Have you ever dreamed what it would actually feel like to walk into one of the round doors and see how they live? Well now you can. [...] This was a huge highlight for me, sitting in plush chairs around a huge fireplace right where Frodo, Sam, Merry & Pippin would spend their evenings drinking and eating pastries?! I just kept pinching myself.โ€
