The minimum age for groups of children is 8 years old. Tours consist of an age-appropriate presentation in our library on our operations, weather safety, and or the science of weather/water. The exact content of our talks can be adjusted based on the needs/interests of visitors. We also provide a brief overview of our operations area, and a demonstration of some of our weather observation equipment. Afternoon tours are timed to coincide with our evening weather balloon launch, which occurs daily at 5 pm CST (November - March) or 6 pm CDT (March - October). Our tours normally last approximately 1 hour. Our facility is wheelchair accessible.
