Group Tours
& Programs
The McMichael offers a suite of in‑person and virtual group tours and experiences to inspire your friends, family and colleagues with the art of Canada.
Whether you are planning a visit with a group, family and friends or organizing a corporate event, we are happy to accommodate your group’s needs. All groups of 10 or more must contact the gallery at least 14 business days in advance to coordinate your visit with one of our guides.
Please note that self-guided tours are not permitted. Groups are also welcome to view at leisure, provided that they follow directions from gallery guides and do not impede visitor flow. Large groups may be asked to split into smaller groups.
If you are visiting the gallery with a group, please review Group Visits Guidelines.
Discover a range of engaging experiences designed to connect adults with art, nature, and creativity. Whether you’re looking for a guided group visit, a hands-on workshop, or a relaxed self-guided outing, these offerings provide flexible and enriching ways to explore at your own pace or with others.
