We appreciate your interest in visiting the Children’s Holocaust Memorial. Please remember we are a fully functioning school and ONLY offer guided tours. A guided tour will include our artifacts room, research library and railcar. In order to best accommodate everyone with our school schedule, tour dates must be booked 7 days in advance and are limited to 60 people. The cost is $2 per person (cash or check only) and donations are welcomed.
Please note the following schedule for tours:
For groups larger than 20 (schools need 1 chaperone per 10 students):
- September to mid-April: Guided tours are available every Friday, from 9:00 to 10:30 AM CST. Friday tours fill quickly, so please plan accordingly.
For groups smaller than 20 and families:
- September to mid-April: Guided in-person tours are offered on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 AM CST, but are subject to availability depending on scheduled school activities.
For any visitors:
