Outside of just recording music, there's actually a soundstage which is over 12,000 sq. ft. that's used for concerts. In the house, Prince has a guitar room, a game room and "The Vault" where he stores unreleased material.

In 2000 when he allowed fans to buy passes to tour the house, via MTV, no one was allowed in "The Vault", not even the fans that purchased the VIP tour tickets.
As Paisley Park is private property, there are hardly ever opportunities for tours, thus allowing the public to purchase opportunities to tour was rare. However, sometimes Prince would announce when there was a party, to which anyone could show up, with limited capacity of course.
