Easy to find, close to the A9. There is plenty of flat, level parking, which is free. Entry is also free, though a donation is requested to help with running costs. You can get a guide book (£5) which contains an excellent map and detailed information on each part of the exhibit. There is a cafe, gift shop and rest rooms right by the entrance/exit. The whole place is wheelchair accessible. The exhibits are very interesting and well laid out, though tall people may have to duck on entering the "black house" and other things unless they like getting a concussion. Folk have grown a little since it was originally built. The food was very good, though I think the gift shop might be a touch pricey for some. Staff throughout are excellent, and even young children will enjoy it. Especially the sweet shop, so take lots of cash for that bit. I took a small party of visually impaired folk from Scottish War Blinded and they all loved it, and were able to access everything. A very good trip out.

A great place to let off steam with dogs/kids and explore the ruins, with a short walk to the top. Good views and interesting history with boards to read. Ideal for a short stop as you go past.
