Group Tours

The Appleton offers a variety of custom group tours, either self guided or led by a docent. Reserve group admission in advance to receive special group rates and bypass admission lines.

The Appleton offers guided tours of special exhibitions, permanent collections and themed topics. The tours are conducted by a trained guide and last approximately one hour. The Museum Collections tour introduces visitors to some of the treasures in the Museum's permanent collection. You are encouraged to visit the online collections or review current and upcoming exhibitions for other possible tour topics.

We encourage group visits from museum and tourism professionals, meeting planners, organizers of trade shows and representatives of hotels, airlines and tour companies. For additional information, please contact Griselle Gonzalez-Vazquez, 352-291-4455 ext. 1836.
