Tour Guidelines
We look forward to welcoming you! Please note that Saturday Open Studio Hours have been cancelled. Access is only open to visitors with tour registrations purchased in advance.
Please wear comfortable and easy-to-remove footwear, as the tour includes an outdoor walk of ¾ mile on uneven terrain and grassy hills. We ask that shoes be removed before entering select buildings. The walking path through The George Nakashima Woodworker Complex is not ADA compliant. We are working on updating our circulation network while respecting the historic features of this special place.
Although we allow outdoor photography for personal use on the property, we ask that you refrain from photography or video recording while inside.
Children must be 12 years and older and accompanied by an adult. All children must have a tour registration.
Guided tours are held rain-or-shine, no refunds.
