2025-2026 Season 

*** Unfortunately, due to current funding concerns we will not be able to host homeschool visits at this time. We hope to continue with these special events in the future. Please keep an eye on this page for updates. For any questions, please contact outreach@ligo-la.caltech.edu ***

LIGO in Livingston Louisiana offers tours to homeschooled children as well as children attending public and private schools.  Tours to LIGO and time in the Science Education Center are a unique opportunity for students to interact with scientists and engineers doing real science, and to experience hands on science through our interactive exhibit hall.

Time:  Tours vary in length from 2 - 3 hours. 

• 2-hour visit consists of a tour and time exploring in the exhibit hall (50 interactive science exhibits)
• 3-hour visit consists of a tour, extended time in the exhibit hall & time to eat lunch if across lunch time. 

Cost: FREE

Lunches:  Students & adults must bring their own lunches with them to LIGO as there are no facilities to buy lunches on-site!!!

Number of visitors:  We expect to accommodate up to 64 people per tour.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Vehicles MUST REMAIN ON SITE DURING THE TOUR.  LIGO Livingston is in a remote location & we are sensitive to vibrations due to traffic. For the safety of the children, adults MUST remain on-site with their school-children while at LIGO.
