Tours led by the Caltech History and Architectural Tour Service
The Caltech History and Architectural Tour Service, a program of the Caltech Women's Club, offers public, in-depth campus tours about once a month, with the next ones coming up on these anticipated dates. Find out how Caltech's unique academic buildings and high-tech laboratories inform research and discovery, as well as enrich the greater Pasadena community. Some guides are bilingual; please email the guides to request a tour in Spanish.
Tours for high school and college students
High school and college students who are considering enrolling at Caltech, as well as groups of 10 to 49 students and family members, can find tour information on Caltech's admissions website. Prospective students, their parents and guardians, and others also can explore Caltech through a virtual tour developed by the admissions department.
