Group Tours
The Appleton offers a variety of self-guided or decent-led group tours. Book your tour in advance to receive special group rates and bypass admission lines.
Guided tours are conducted by a trained docent or staff member and are approximately one hour. The Museum Collections tour introduces visitors to treasures from the permanent collection. You are encouraged to review current and upcoming exhibitions for other possible tour topics.
We also welcome group visits from museum and tourism professionals, meeting planners, organizers of trade shows and representatives of hotels, airlines and tour companies.
