School Group Tours

School group tours are conducted Monday - Friday year round.  The group rate applies for groups of 15 or more.  Mansker's Station can accommodate groups up to 140 (including chaperones).  Groups may be scheduled up to one year in advance.  For more detailed information on the types of tours offered, please visit School Group Tour Descriptions.

As part of the tour at Mansker's Station, a shelter in Moss-Wright Park may be reserved at no additional charge based upon availability.  This shelter is next to a large playground and is a great option for a picnic lunch. Email our Visitor's Center staff for additional questions.
