Group Tours at Olana

Olana’s Group Tours are an ideal way to experience the site for parties of 20 or more. We offer two tiers of options considering duration on site, depth of content, and point of price. Each tour considers aspects of Frederic Church’s designed landscape and views, Olana’s mission and role in viewshed protection, and tour of the Main House. We limit groups to 2 a day, and recommend a minimum of 3 months advanced booking. NOTE: if you are reserving for a school group, please consider our Field Trip options instead.

    Once your request is received, we will follow up via e-mail to discuss important details regarding your visit. Please provide a valid e-mail address for your Tour Organizer.

    Preferably, a cell phone that the group leader will have with them the day of the tour.

    This name will be used to hold your tour and in correspondence.

    This address will be used for future correspondence.


    All guests require a ticket for entry. A lift can provide access to the main floor; please note this when confirming your booking and request assistance at the Visitor Center at the time of arrival. There is no lift access to the second floor. No backpacks, large bags, or strollers please.

    Olana's Group Tours are designed for parties of 10 or more. Please provide an estimated total of those attending. Group Tours are staffed using this estimation, and require approval if an increase or decrease in group size occurs. Please also note that an extra fee may be required if the group size is over 48.

    Please enter a value between 10 and 96.

    Please select the date you are interested in visiting. Group Tours are only offered Tuesday - Friday. Please keep this in mind as you book your tour.

    Please provide an alternate date in case your preferred date is unavailable. If there is no alternate date your group may attend, please continue.


    If you have persons requiring the use of our lift to access the main floor of the house, please provide the total number. The lift holds one person at a time, so we need to allow 3-5 minutes of lead time before the tour for each person requiring use of the lift. The dimensions of the lift are 33 inches wide and 46 inches deep and it is limited to a 600-pound maximum. Please keep in mind that In-Depth OLANA may access the second floor, which is not ADA accessible. With advance notice, alternative accommodations may be made for guests who are unable to access this floor.

    While service dogs are welcome at Olana, they may only be permitted as defined by the ADA. Emotional support or therapy animals of any kind are not permitted. Service dogs must be well behaved and under control at all times.

    The Wagon House Education Center is located in the Farm Complex by the pond, and can be rented to ensure a climate controlled space to host lunch or meetings on site at Olana. Please check the box below if you are interested in hosting your group at the Wagon House.
