Group Visits
We are excited to welcome groups to the newly renovated Visitor Center. At this time, we are not providing guided visits.
Groups are free to enjoy the new exhibits and trails as a self-guided experience. Check our Program Calendar to see if there is a scheduled program during your visit. We have a binoculars to borrow at the Front Desk.
On the Day of Your Visit
- There is plenty of free car parking at the Lab.
- Buses may drop off and pick up passengers in our circular driveway at the main entrance, and then should park in the far lot, closest to Route 13.
- The trails at Sapsucker Woods are carry in, carry out. Please take your trash with you.
- When the Visitor Center is closed, there is an accessible porta potty near the visitor parking lot.
