In Fixer Upper: Welcome Home – The Castle, the Gaineses take on the Herculean task of breathing new life into a nineteenth-century castle in Waco, Texas. Over the course of eight episodes, the couple tackles its challenging infrastructure while preserving its original beauty. But before the show premieres on discovery+ in September, the Gaineses are offering "intimate guided tours" of the castle. It's the first time in Fixer Upper history that fans have an opportunity for in-person tours of a home from the show. Courtesy of Magnolia Network A representative for Magnolia told Insider that the group tours will give visitors a look at every room in the historic Cottonland Castle. While most of the tour will focus on Joanna's design approach, visitors will also learn about its fascinating history. "For nearly 20 years, we dreamed and imagined what it would be like to breathe new life into this abandoned, century-old castle," Chip and Jo told Insider. "Finally having the opportunity, we're again reminded that there's great reward in unearthing beauty in unexpected places." "The doors are open once again, and we can't wait to host you here at the Castle so you can experience this stunning historical home in all its glory," the couple added. Courtesy of Magnolia Network According to Insider, the one-hour tours will run from July 21 to October 26, Monday through Saturday. Tickets cost $50, though children seven years old and younger get in for free. Plus, 20% of profits will be donated to The Cove, a local non-profit benefiting the homeless youth of Waco. Tickets are available now at magnolia.com/visit/events. Frequently Asked Questions How many bedrooms are in Cottonland Castle? Cottonland Castle, located in Waco, Texas, has four bedrooms.
