Just for kids
Taking a field trip to campus with some smaller people not quite ready to apply? Let your kids explore the campus with this informative and interactive self-guided tour. Made specifically for elementary school students, this program offers a great introduction to the campus for our younger visitors. These two 6-page downloadable guides give all the kid-friendly highlights of the publicly accessible areas of campus.
Just for kids: The CalKids guide offers bear-spotting and squirrel-counting tips, along with fun facts and a map.
For the grownups: The companion guide for teachers, parents, counselors, and chaperones tells you step by step which way to go, and additional information to share (or not) with your charges.
Monday through Friday from 10:30am to 3:00pm, we offer your students the opportunity to ask questions and get a brief introduction to the University by one of our student ambassadors. Please email tour@berkeley.edu for more information.
