Building a better Lakewood | Learn about our new Welcome Center

Private Guided Tours

Your group is welcome.

Lakewood is filled with history, art and architecture. One of our knowledgeable guides can lead your group on a fascinating tour. 

Your group may choose a leisurely walking tour spanning about a half mile, or you may bring a private bus for a visit that winds throughout our beautiful 250 park-like acres. (Lakewood does not provide trolleys or buses.) 

Along with our history, you’ll also learn about our status as a level 2 arboretum.
