Thank you for your interest
We look forward to hosting your group!
In-person group tours are offered to high schools, community colleges, and other educational partners. Please contact the tours office for more information.
Group sizes can range from 10 to a maximum of 75 guests (including chaperones). We require one adult chaperone for every 15 students, and the chaperone is required to stay with the group for the entire duration of the tour. If your group would like to visit before we can accommodate you or you have a group larger than 75, please utilize our VisiTour tour for your visit.
What to Expect
The group tour is generally 90 minutes and covers approximately 1.5 miles over hilly terrain and many stairs. If any guests in your group have temporary or long-term mobility issues or require other accommodations, contact our office at visits@ucsc.edu for recommendations on routes.
