Group Tours

Thank you for your interest in Holocaust Museum Houston’s group tours. The Museum offers both in-person and virtual experiences that can be customized to your group’s interests. Our volunteer docents are trained to help visitors understand the lessons of the Holocaust, connect with the stories of our local Survivors, and leave the Museum feeling empowered to be an “Upstander.”

​Tour requests must be submitted a minimum of 3 weeks in advance of your earliest preferred tour date. The Group Tours Manager will contact you within 7 business days to discuss details for your visit.

Tours are considered booked only after you have received a written confirmation from the Museum. 

All tours require a minimum of 10 participants, with a maximum of 100 participants for docent-led tours and 125 participants for self-guided tours.

Docent-guided tours are available Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 am to 3 pm each day. Weekend availability is limited.

​Student group tours are available for 6th through 12th grade only. The Museum’s Boniuk Center for the Future of Holocaust, Human Rights and Genocide Education offers many resources for K-12 students and teachers, including Educator in Motion, which sends museum educators to schools and community organizations to provide educational programming on the Holocaust, human rights, and active citizenship at no charge.

Learn about the Museum’s Educator in Motion program and other classroom resources.

SURVIVOR AND DESCENDANTS SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

To complement your group tour experience, Holocaust Museum Houston is proud to offer speaking engagements with local Houston Holocaust Survivors and their descendants at no additional cost. Hearing a Survivors’ story can leave a lasting impact and inspire action in each of us. These one-hour speaking engagements require a minimum of 50 individuals and are offered within the tour request forms above.
