Tour Policies

One week notice is required to schedule a tour. We will do our best to accomodate.

Tours are available during the hours: 10 AM - 4 PM, Monday - Friday.

For high school students and adults, the room limit is 20 people maximum.

For grade school visitors:

• The touring school is to provide chaperons who will need to be mindful of the children's surroundings and help with safety.
• The room limit is 10 people maximum. If groups are too large to divide up, the group will remain in the lobby to view demonstrations of the RRS.

NOTE: If any group is deemed incapable of behaving in an appropriate and safe manner, the RRS tour will be conducted from the lobby outside of the Circulation Desk.
