Private Group Tours
We ask that groups of ten or more schedule a private tour at least two weeks in advance with the Tour Coordinator. Your group may qualify for discounted admission and a personal tour guide. See below for discounted rates and an online request form. We make every effort to accommodate your request and encourage you to book your group early.
- Bus Tours—Bus tours must book and be confirmed at least one month in advance. We recommend you request your spring tours during the previous autumn, as tour dates fill quickly.
- School Groups—School groups are required to have a guided tour. These tours must be booked and confirmed at least one month in advance. We recommend you request your spring tours during the previous autumn, as tour dates fill quickly.
