Groups of 10 or more can schedule tours for any day, seven days per week. While we can accommodate all group sizes, we recommend groups larger than 300 students be broken into smaller groups over multiple days. Tours last about 2 hours, and can be adjusted shorter or longer to meet your schedule. During tours we give away many free prizes to students including carnivorous plants and solar toys! We recommend you bring bag lunches — we allow extra time for lunch in our picnic area after the tour. Tours for K-12 students conform to Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). PRICING: $5/students, $1/teachers (with school ID), $10/adults, FREE/children under 3
