√  Select your preferred date, with at least 2-3 alternatives. (Thursdays and Fridays fill quickly.)

√  Receive approval from your administrator and confirm that transportation is available. Please note, we cannot hold a date while you work on these details.

√  Determine if your school is paying for admission, or if you need to apply for grants. You may pay with a credit card, purchase order, or check from your school or organization. For questions about payment, contact our finance department at finance@lhf.org.

√  Review the amount of time required for your preferred tour. The longer you stay, the more you can see.

√  Complete a request for a reservation form online. You will receive an email stating that your request has been received. This is not a confirmation of your reservation date or time; it is only confirmation that the request has been received.
