Requests for a group campus tour may now be submitted on line. Because there may have previous reservations, please include optional dates.
Educational Group Tours
Each year, over 1000 young students visit BYU-Idaho to gain knowledge and to broaden their exposure to the world of higher education. University Relations coordinates the tours and assigns BYU-Idaho students to serve as tour guides creating an enjoyable learning experience. Tours are designed to meet each group's specific needs and a small gift is given to elementary students (e.g. pencil or coloring book). Frequently visited areas include:
- Geology Museum in the Romney Building
-
Greenhouses in Benson Building
-
Planetarium in the Romney Building (see note below)
-
Wildlife Museum in Benson Building
-
Walking campus tours for an overview of the university
