Group Campus Tours - Summer 2026

Join us for a campus tour, suitable for groups, schools, and outside organizations. If you want to bring more than the allotted around of students, we recommend you book two timeslots on the same day. The walking campus tour is conducted outdoors and typically lasts an hour. Please arrive 30 minutes early to your tour to allow time for your group to check in and use the restroom before the tour time is scheduled to start.

• Registration is to be made by a representative/lead chaperone on behalf of the group that will be present on the day of the campus visit.
• Please note that tours may be subject to cancellation due to extreme weather conditions, very poor air quality, or other unsafe/potentially harmful conditions. To ensure you are comfortable, please dress appropriately for the weather.
• We do not provide tours for grades 5 and below. Please refer to our Sac State Fun Facts Presentation section for an alternative accommodation.
• Summer Heat Warning: We do not offer group tours starting after 12:00pm to prevent our tour guides and your students from heat illness during the tour. If you are looking to do something after 12:00pm, we can offer an admissions presentation with student Q&A, scavenger hunt materials, or self-guided tour materials. If you book your tour and the temperature exceeds 100 degrees, we will need to cancel the tour and offer you an alternative.
