Yes! We recommend tours for students ages 7 and up. One adult chaperone is required for every 15 students. We can accommodate up to 40 guests in total, depending on venue availability.

Absolutely. Wheelchairs and other mobility-assisted devices are not provided. We appreciate advanced notice if guests require accessible accommodations so we can appropriately plan the tour route with those needs in mind.

When scheduling tours, we are balancing the needs of our public tour program with the operations of Segerstrom Hall and the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tours later in the day are typically not scheduled to allow the dozens of ushers, operations, and housekeeping staffs to thoroughly secure, clean and prepare the building before the evening events and performances. Morning tour requests are most commonly possible to accommodate.

There are several parking options adjacent to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts:  Center Tower Parking Structure, adjacent to Segerstrom Hall on Sunflower Avenue between Avenue of the Arts and Park Center Drive. The Plaza Tower Parking Structure across from the Westin Hotel on Anton Boulevard between Avenue of the Arts and Park Center Drive. Segerstrom Center for the Arts neither owns nor operates any of these parking garages and rates are subject to change. Parking validation is not provided for the free tour program.

Scheduling tours in a working performing arts and concert venue is a complex process. The priority of the Hall is to performances and they can be added to the scheduled at any time.  Also, as a touring venue we continually have new shows arriving with their rehearsal schedules.  The scheduling of tours is sensitive to the timing needs of front of house staff, operations, performers and many more that need the space to prepare for that evening’s performance or event.

Yes, we love it when patrons take pictures of our beautiful spaces. Photography is permitted with the use of hand-held still and video cameras only, no tripods. When a show is in the house, there may be no photography allowed in certain locations due to copyright laws and your Docent will advise you. We’d love to see your photos!
