School Group Tours

Plan your next field trip to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates and give your students the chance to see how ideas can change the world and to understand what Edison meant when he said, “all progress, all success, springs from thinking.”

At this time we are only offering self-guided tours. We recommend that teachers download the free Edison Ford app for a preview and tour information. Advance reservations are required for groups of 20 or more. Maximum 60 students per group visit. As always we recommend making reservations early, and make sure you have received written confirmation from Edison Ford before finalizing travel plans.

**Our group calendar for this school year is almost full. At this time we are full through March and have limited openings in April and May of 2022. Book now!
