2026-2027 Season 

LIGO in Livingston, Louisiana offers free tours to homeschooled children twice yearly—once in fall (mid-to-late September) and once in spring (TBD). Exact Fall date will be announced this coming Aug 18th. 

Tours offer students a chance to interact with working scientists and engineers, and explore ~50 interactive exhibits in the Exhibit Hall.
