AIRPORT TOURS

For generations thousands of students and adults have enjoyed tours of the airport. Today there are more tour options than ever before, including special interest tours for adults. Educational tours give students a firsthand look at one of the world's most modern airports. All tours and parking are free.

Standard Tour Options

1. Embark on a guided tour of the nationally acclaimed murals of Winold Reiss. Learn the history of these these art deco mosaics, including how they were made. (Ideal for adults and art students of any age.)

2. View the cutting-edge technologies that the airport employs to improve stream quality around the airfield. Older students and adults with an interest in environmental science will especially enjoy this tour. (Please plan ahead as availability is limited.)

Finish your tour with lunch and a relaxing visit to the beautiful new Holscher Park.
