Campus Tours

We appreciate your interest in a private campus tour. Please be advised that most of our ambassadors live away from the Penn State area during the summer months (May 11 - August 21, 2026), so our capacity to provide private tours is limited during this time.

As a student-volunteer organization, the Penn State Lion Ambassadors offer private campus tours to past, present, and future Penn State students, alumni, employees, and friends.

Private tours are fulfilled on a rolling basis and are dependent on the availability of our student volunteers. All requests are automatically recorded and we will be in contact with you as soon as we have information about the status of your request.

Please be advised that Penn State Undergraduate Admissions offers standard prospective and admitted student tours.

If you are experiencing difficulty viewing our tour request form above, you can access it here.

Please do not make any travel arrangements until you receive confirmation of the fulfillment of your request. Each request is not guaranteed until finalized.

Private tours are typically a 60-90 minute walking tour of campus and will be tailored to your specific interests and requests. If there are any locations on campus you would like us to include during your tour, please let us know when you submit your request.

Minors on tours must be accompanied by someone over the age of 18.
