Relaxed campus tours provide a behind-the-scenes perspective of the past and present of Lincoln Center. They are part of our Relaxed Performance series, open to all, and especially welcoming for people with autism, sensory and communication disorders or learning disabilities.

Led in English by a Lincoln Center tour guide, guests will learn about Lincoln Center’s history; explore the front of house areas and behind the scenes of some of the iconic arts organizations that call Lincoln Center home; and experience our vibrant campus the way only artists and staff do. Relaxed tours will incorporate tactile objects, discussion, and Q&A.

Rain or shine, this 90-minute active group walking tour will cover a distance of about two city blocks, and there will be few moments to lean or sit. Each tour will include several families led by a Lincoln Center Tour Guide. 

This program is a part of the Big Umbrella Festival, welcoming kids, teens, and adults for a series of multi-sensory, interactive, and engaging programming, designed with and for neurodiverse audiences.

Every day is unique at Lincoln Center and so are our tours! Each tour itinerary will be different based on the day’s activity at our many performance halls.
