Clock weights that go into the floor, Mastodon bones, double-acting doors...there are lots of things at Monticello that kids find fascinating. These special guided tours for families are designed for children ages 5 to 11.

Featuring hands-on learning, these tours highlight Jefferson’s ideas and accomplishments and share stories of the people, both free and enslaved, who lived on this working plantation. This popular pass includes access to our gardens, grounds, walking tours, family-friendly activities, and exhibits.

House tour lasts about 45 minutes. Allow at least 3 hours to see everything.

Guests should plan to arrive at the visitor center 30 minutes prior to their tour start time to allow time to pass through a security screening and travel from the visitor center to the mountaintop.
