About this Event

These free tours provided by TRIUMF's Graduate and Postdoc Society student volunteers are limited to 15 participants at a time. The schedule is dependent on their availability to provide time away from academic work or research.

For larger public groups, email a request to [email protected] so that feasibility may be determined. For school-aged groups, visit https://triumf.ca/visit-us/public-tours/#k-12, or email [email protected].

The 45-minute walking tour explores the two largest research halls within the 13-acre site. Participants are required to walk, climb stairs, and stand for the duration of the tour. While a more accessible route is available for those that require it, much of the lab's scale is best viewed from above. Participants who have sensitivity to loud noise should take special precautions.

Notify the tour guide of any individual needs upon arrival.

Tour requirements:

• You are required to secure a ticket for each participant in your group.
• All guests are required to observe site safety information prior to arrival on site.
