Drop-In Tours are Saturdays and Sundays : 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM
*Note: The following public drop-in tours have been cancelled: Saturday, February 4 (11:30 a.m.); Sunday, February 5 (all tours)
Private Group Tours
IHMEC strongly recommends self-guided tours for adults due to the design, content, and layout of the Karkomi Permanent Exhibition. Reservations are not required. However, docent-led group tours are available by request for interested groups of 20 people or more.
Self-Guided Tour Groups
Groups not requesting a docent are welcome to enter through general admission without a reservation. Group members pay general admission rates. If preferred, groups can order tickets in advance through our online ticketing system.
We encourage you to download our Self-Guided Group Tour Planning sheet to help you prepare for your visit.
