The minimum age for groups of children is 8 years old.  Tours consist of an age-appropriate presentation in our conference room 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.
