Community Public Tours
Community tour groups are offered on a limited basis.
LIGO in Livingston Louisiana offers tours to community and special interest groups. Unfortunately, due to demand, most mornings during the academic year are booked with school children. We will also sometimes run tours in conjunction with Science Saturdays. If your group fewer than 15 people, then please plan to come out on a Science Saturday (no tour request needed). For those submitting tour requests, please submit the request at least two weeks in advance of your desired tour date, and we will get back to you. Unfortunately we cannot honor all requests.
Time: Tours typically take 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
Cost: There is no cost (yes, the tours are free)
Lunches: We have no facilities to buy lunches on-site, but if you are coming around lunch time, you are welcome to bring your lunch and eat it outside at our pavilion.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Vehicles MUST REMAIN ON SITE DURING THE TOUR. LIGO Livingston is in a remote location & we are sensitive to vibrations, therefore for the safety of the visitors and in order to keep LIGO's instrument working well, visitors are not allowed to be dropped off for a tour.
