Please Note: This is a tour of a working laboratory. Please understand that all tour locations are subject to availability and at times, there may be loud, unusual or repetitive noises due to the lab’s specialized science equipment and infrastructure. Ask your tour guide if you have any concerns before, during, or after your visit.
Also, all visitors touring the lab are required to wear close-toed shoes. No sandals or flip-flops are allowed in the lab.
Minors should be accompanied by an adult.
* The lab hosts free public tours of the facility on the third Wednesday of each month at 11:30 a.m. No reservations are required for this standing tour; just show up wearing close-toed shoes and check in at the reception desk.
Monthly Public Tours take about an hour and include a general overview of the MagLab, magnet types, and the research conducted here. The lab is located in Tallahassee's Innovation Park at 1800 E. Paul Dirac Drive.
The standing monthly tours are not intended for school groups or other large groups. Read more about tours for those groups below.
Group tours (a minimum of eight people) of the MagLab are available for free to the general public. Tours to youth groups and groups where children are a majority are limited to ages 10 & up. Tours last about an hour and must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance through our Tour Request form.
During the school year the MagLab also offers special tours for school groups for grades 5-12 that include a hands-on learning activity. See the Field Trips and Tours page for more information.
