FAQ
How large are group sizes for tours?

Groups should be between 12 to 25 people, allowing for our volunteers to interact with the group and answer questions as they arise. If a party is larger than 25, we will need to split the group.

How much does a tour cost?

Tours for schools and student groups are FREE.

Are there limits to the numbers of chaperones that may travel with a group?

No, though The Tobin Center does define “chaperone” as an adult who is actively monitoring students. Chaperones and teachers do count towards the party size.

Must tours be planned in advance?

Yes. As a professional performing arts center, all tours must be coordinated with and/or scheduled around events within The Tobin Center. Please contact us with tour dates in mind and we will respond with the best options to meet your group’s needs.
