Group Visits

We are excited to welcome groups to the newly renovated Visitor Center. At this time, we are not providing guided visits. Check back in early 2025 to plan a guided visit for your group!

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 are no outdoor restroom facilities.

Make the Most of Your Group Visit

Before your visit, check out our online resources, including K-12 Education, Bird Cams, and All About Birds. Download the Merlin Bird ID app.

We have many age-appropriate resources to help you make the most of your visit. Our Youth Guide to the Trails is available as a PDF download, and we have copies available at the Front Desk.

For additional resources, downloads, and information, see our What To Do section.
