Please make reservations a minimum of three weeks in advance of your intended arrival. You will need at least one hour for a group of 20 to 50 students. Maximum group size is 50 students; maximum time is 2 hours.
A minimum of one adult chaperone per seven students is mandatory. Chaperones must supervise the students at all times.
Chaperones and children in each group will be identified by name tags, color coded by group. Please inform all adults and students of Casa Grande Ruins' regulations prior to your visit.
BUS PARKING is located east of the visitor center past the service entrance road. Please have the bus park so students can unload onto the sidewalk and inform bus drivers that they must turn off their engines during the visit.
BEFORE students are unloaded from the bus, the group leader should inform a ranger at the front desk that the group has arrived.
Please keep students on the sidewalks to avoid accidents in the parking lot area.
Entrance fees are waived for qualified educational groups. Fee waivers must be requested at least two weeks before the scheduled visit.
