Notre Dame is one of the most visited sites in Indiana. Our visitors range from prospective students to conference or event attendees, to people who have just always wanted to visit. We’re happy to accommodate them all.
Admissions Tour
Tours for prospective students are usually in conjunction with an information session appointment. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions schedules these requests.
General Tour
The Eck Visitors Center’s free public tour offers a historical and social overview of life at Notre Dame. Most tours will include visits to the Grotto, Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Main Building (the Golden Dome), and the Hesburgh Library (“Touchdown Jesus”). Tours of Notre Dame Stadium are scheduled separately.
Guided public tours are available at various times throughout the year. Groups of 10 or more must arrange for a private tour. Tours are limited to the first 25 people who register within 30 minutes of the tour in person at the Eck Visitors Center. Advance reservations and telephone reservations are not accepted.
Notre Dame Stadium Tour
Tours of “The House that Rockne Built” feature the opportunity to take photos on the field as well as in front of the famed “Play Like a Champion Today” sign.
