Office Tours

Use the form below to request an office tour! In general, rules for tour groups are as follows...

  • Scheduled office tours are weather dependent. The National Weather Service reserves the right to postpone tours at any time due to adverse weather. In the event a tour must be postponed, we will make every effort to provide adequate notice and schedule another date with you. 

  • Tours will be scheduled during normal business hours (Monday through Friday), from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Typical tours average 30-45 minutes in length.

  • Due to security protocols, all tours must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. Unannounced "walk-in" tours can not be permitted.

  • Group size is limited to 30 people in two groups of 15. School age groups must have chaperones.

  • Age is limited to 4th grade (around 10 years of age) or higher.
