Campus Tours & Visits
The historic and architecturally-significant campus buildings are an attraction all their own. Every year, the university hosts campus tours for new and prospective students and families. Guests can set their own pace with self-guided tours of the beautifully landscaped grounds, including the Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden and Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden.
Campus Tours
The university is pleased to offer individual tours for prospective students and parents as well as group tours for high school and community college students and community organizations.
Strolling the grounds and visiting campus landmarks is the ideal way to immerse oneself in UCLA’s tradition of academic excellence and see our vibrant community. We invite you to stay with us at the UCLA Luskin Conference Center when visiting for a campus tour.
