Group reservations can be made by CAVS for the following sites:

NC State Capitol (No longer available for the 2019-2020 season due to construction)
NC Museum of History (1-hour self-guided tour)
NC Museum of Natural Sciences / Nature Research Center (2-hour self-guided tour recommended)
NC Legislative Building (30-minute guided tour)
NC Executive Mansion and Gardens (Mansion 30-minute guided tour) (Gardens 1-hour guided tour)

To schedule your group visit to Raleigh and the state government complex, fill out the form below. Visits must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance; however, earlier scheduling allows more flexibility, permits time for delivery of your written itinerary, and opens more options for your trip. Fridays in March and April may not be available to your group. Plan to have alternate dates that fall earlier in the week.

To allow our guides to make the best use of your group's time, please inform the Capital Area Visitor Services office of any special needs your group or any of its members may have.

The locations you visit will be expecting you.
