In-Person Campus Tours

We are happy to announce that in-person campus tours have resumed and will continue to evolve as restrictions are lifted by the Province. 

At this time, the Queen's COVID-19 masking policy remains in place, requiring all students, staff, faculty and visitors to wear a mask while indoors at the University. Queen’s also continues to strongly encourage everyone to receive updated vaccinations and boosters, as these remain the best way to protect yourself and the community against serious illness from COVID-19.

A list of available tour dates can be found below. Note that if a date is "sold out" we are unable to add your name to a waitlist. 

Residence tours are unavailable at this time - for more info on Queen's Residence buildings please see here. Tours last approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, so please dress for the weather and bring comfortable footwear.

Tours leave from the front entrance of Gordon Hall (74 Union Street West). Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your tour time. Tour guides will meet attendees in front of the building to check them in. More information on directions to campus and parking can be found here. 

If you've recently completed a campus tour we'd appreciate feedback on your experience! Access our short survey by clicking here. 

UPDATE: The University will be closed on Friday, May 20th. Any previously scheduled campus tours for this day will still be running, but campus buildings will not be open.

If using as a walking tour, the clips will play automatically once you reach the building. If you are using at home, you will have to select each stop and listen at your own time. Enjoy!

Additional Resources

As we continue to augment our campus tours experience, we have collected a number of videos and images that will help you get a sense of what the inside of campus is like. While this site was originally tailored to our incoming Class of 2024, the video and imagery is still helpful as you consider Queen’s. Note that this content was created before COVID-19 became a factor in our lives. They show our beautiful campus and our close-knit community.

We are all very much looking forward to welcoming our prospective students and families back to campus!
