Tour information
- Tour dates are offered one Saturday per month based on scheduling availability and limited in size.
- We currently do not have any dates available until Fall 2023. Tours start back up in August and dates will get posted to our website starting in July. Spring dates will get posted mid-to-late fall starting in January.
- Each month’s tour requires a form and will re-post after the previous month’s tour is complete. After completing your request form, we will send a follow-up email to confirm the date and details of your tour.
- For safety purposes, children under 12 are not permitted in the hospitals. These tours are suitable for students in 11th grade and up. This is not a tour for undergraduate admissions, but for the professional school program (DVM), which is for students to attend after they complete their undergraduate requirements. Visitors should not expect to learn about undergraduate education or high school preparation.
- For University of Florida undergraduate tours, please visit the following website for more details.
- Please wear closed-toe shoes for the tour to adhere to safety and infection control guidelines when entering and exiting certain buildings.
- We welcome you to take photos in front of our buildings, but please keep all photography devices stowed during the tour. Photography is not permitted inside the hospitals.
- Please Note: This is a tour of our academic buildings and hospitals, not a zoo or farm. Guests should not expect to see patients on the tour.
- These tours are the only opportunities to visit our campus through the Office for Academic and Student Affairs, due to availability from our student ambassadors and hospitals.
- The College offers a free Open House and Community Outreach Event during the month of April. Please visit the following website for more details.
