As of 9/20/15 it is not yet open for tours inside. I checked myself because I was hoping to get a tour inside before leaving the region. If you are in the area and plan to visit it is still worth a trip. They have a short film, informative museum and gift shop open. The gift shop also has a photo CD available for under $5 of the inside tour, so that you can at least have an idea of what it looks like. And the view of the water is great!
