Group and Private Tours

Contact our Museum Director by email or by phone at 917-709-5291 to schedule a special tour of Lilac for your class, club, clan, or team or just you and a friend.

For school field trips and other tours for children, we can tailor the experience to the age group of the visitors. See our Kids’ Deck for activities and resources to enhance their tour experience.

We will be opening the ship especially for you. A reservation fee of $75 is required to hold a date and time and to schedule staffing. If you cancel or re-schedule your tour with less than 48 hours notice, this reservation fee is forfeit so please notify us immediately if your plans change.

tours for Coast Guardsmen

Veteran, retired and active-duty Coast Guardsmen and their families are always welcome at no charge for private tours of our legacy cutter. We will make every effort to be available for you. Just let us know when you’d like to visit.
