Arranging a School Tour

School group tours are available at Pendarvis May through October each year. Reservations can be made year round.

Reservations must be made at least three weeks before your visit. Here are some things you may want to know to help you plan your tour:

  • Average tour length is one hour for 15 visitors. Larger groups will be divided into sub-groups of 15, with each sub-group starting 10 minutes after the previous group. For example, a group of 30 visitors with a 10 a.m. tour will be split into two sub-groups of 15 and then group one will start at 10 and finish at 11 while group two will start at 10:10 and finish at 11:10.
  • Tour cost is $3.20 per student and $6.80 per adult. One adult (teacher or other chaperon) is required to accompany each group of 15 students on tour. Required adults are free of charge. Additional adult chaperons are welcome, but will be charged the adult group fee.
