Tours

NOTE: In-person docent-led tours will not be offered in June, July and August 2023. Only Virtual Tours will be available.

The Florida Holocaust Museum is currently offering virtual and in-person tours. Virtual tours can be self-guided and any educator can use our new Virtual Tour with their students on our website at no cost.

Another option is a free docent-led Virtual Tour of our permanent exhibition. These free 45-minute tours need to be scheduled at least 1 week in advance. In order to register a school group for a docent-led Virtual Tour, place a tour request online: Tour Request Form

Several teachers from one school can combine their classes for one tour. Tours are not scheduled until you receive a confirmation email and a link to the tour from the Tour Coordinator.

 In-person docent-led tours are currently available Tuesday through Friday. Please contact Resource & Tour Coordinator for docent-led tour availability on Mondays at tours@thefhm.org.

All groups must make a reservation prior to their visit by using our tour request form.

Docent-led tours cannot be guaranteed less than 30 days in advance. Your reservation must be confirmed by the Tour Coordinator.

The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to offer docent-led tours to groups of 15 or more visitors. School group tours are offered for fifth through twelfth grades and take approximately 2 hours. The Museum provides docent-led tours to adult groups as well.

PLEASE CHECK THE SCHOOL CALENDAR FOR TEST DAYS, IN-SERVICE, AND OTHER SCHOOL EVENTS TO BE CERTAIN OF AVAILABILITY FOR FIELD TRIPS. PLEASE HAVE APPROVAL FOR YOUR VISIT PRIOR TO REQUESTING A TOUR.
