We encourage visitors to register in advance. We are able to accommodate walk-ins as space allows – on a first-come, first-served basis – but we can’t guarantee a space, which is why it’s best to register.
Please note, due to the possibility of changes in campus operations, the University may suspend tours. If this affects your visit, you will be notified by email.
We are delighted you will be visiting Wake Forest University! We look forward to seeing you!
