WELCOME TO YOUR GROUP’S GETTYSBURG EXPERIENCE:
EVENTS AND PRICING
Advance reservations are required for groups of 16 or more for the following programs:
-
Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience—Gettysburg visitors now have the chance to see something you can't see anywhere else: the massive (bigger than a football field!) Gettysburg Cyclorama experience, featuring a sound and light show, America's largest painting and three-dimensional diorama, immersing visitors in one of the pivotal moments at Gettysburg: Pickett's Charge. Now restored, the Cyclorama experience is the must-do event during any Gettysburg visit and includes the film A New Birth of Freedom. And you won't want to miss the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War.
Group prices: Student group (K-12): $6, non-student group: $7.50 -
Licensed Battlefield Guided tours—Gettysburg's Licensed Battlefield Guides are an elite group of 150 people who have studied for years and passed extremely difficult exams, allowing them to earn a license from the National Park Service. Their knowledge will astound groups of any knowledge level. No Gettysburg experience is complete without a tour of the battlefield, and no battlefield tour is complete without a Licensed Battlefield Guide. (The Guide will step onto your bus.) Group price: $125 per group
-
Eisenhower National Historic Site President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife owned only one home in their lifetime — and it was here at Gettysburg. Eisenhower invited world leaders to his home and used the Gettysburg battlefield to educate others about war and its consequences. Your group won't want to miss a visit to this American icon's home. (Tours leave from the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center.) Group prices: Student group (ages 6-12): $5, non-student group (ages 13+): $6.50
- David Wills House A new National Park Service museum in downtown Gettysburg tells the story of the aftermath of battle and Abraham Lincoln's visit to give the Gettysburg Address. The David Wills House is located at 8 Lincoln Square in downtown Gettysburg.
Group prices: Student group (ages 6-12): $4, non-student group (ages 13+): $5.50 (Group reservations are available by calling 866-486-5735; groups of 15 or more are advised to make an advanced reservation.)
Please note that prices and dates are subject to change without notice.
