Tour FAQs

My family is coming in from out of town and we want to have a tour at the KIA. Can we have a family tour? What does that cost?

Absolutely! We love to welcome families to the KIA. We charge based on age. Please visit our General Groups Page to learn more.

I am a teacher and I want to bring a group of students to the KIA, but I don’t want to schedule a tour. Do I still need to let the KIA know?

We understand that some teachers want to bring their students and follow a specific plan, but please let us know when you’re planning to visit. We would like to avoid overcrowding in the galleries. Visit our Self-Guided Group Page to learn more.

When do I need to schedule my guided tour?

Please request your tour at least four weeks in advance of your preferred tour date.

I am a college professor, and would love to show my students works from the KIA’s collection that are not on view. Is there a way to do this?

Yes! Please visit our College Groups page to learn more.
