Plan Your Visit

Group Tours

Tours for larger groups (10 to 60) are offered Monday through Saturday. The average tour lasts about an hour and a half but can be customized to meet your schedule. Our daily, prescheduled tours can accommodate groups smaller than 10 people without advance notice. Group tours must be made at least one week in advance.

Parking
A bus lane is provided in front of the printing house entrance for drop-off and pickup. Guest parking is provided in our front parking lot. Plenty of additional free parking spaces can be found on both sides of Frankfort Avenue.

Scheduling
To schedule a group tour, contact Becky Snider at (502) 899-2356, or on the Web at rsnider@aph.org.
