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 your admissions representative or the tours office for more information.
If your group would like to visit before we can accommodate you or you have a group larger than 60, 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.
