There is a park that is known for the face it attracts, colorful people whose hair on one side is swept back. The smile on their faces, it speaks of profound inner peace. The once mythical and ethereal compound that became a reality, Paisley Park, might be in your heart, but for fans of the dearly departed Prince, now it can be that magical place that you get to visit starting this fall.
In accordance with Prince's wishes, Paisley Park will be open to public tours starting October 6. This is wonderful. https://t.co/tshlgFTjSk

A site has magically opened up for Paisley Park, an understated purple with white text that allows you to sign up for email updates, announcing that on August 26th tickets to tour Prince’s Paisley Park go on sale at 3pm Eastern. There aren’t details beyond that. Immediately after Prince’s untimely passing, we learned that Paisley Park was going to be turned into a museum for fans and that this wasn’t some cash grab, it was actually Prince’s wish for this to happen, with the process already started before his death. Now, starting this fall, fans will finally get a chance to browse through the legendary compound that had a song named after it long before it ever physically existed.
While the compound itself wasn’t exactly a secret hideaway for Prince and housed many parties, both intimate and large, both public and private, this will be what looks to be the beginning of Paisley Park’s second act following the loss of its proprietor.

Then, ultimately, it will be up to you to decide if the girl on the seesaw is truly laughing because love is the color that place imparts, or if there truly aren’t any rules at Paisley Park. Just remember, no matter what, Paisley Park is in your heart.
