Group Tickets to Gettysburg National Military Park Attractions

Advance reservations are required for groups of 16 or more for the following:

Cyclorama, Film and Museum Experience: Gettysburg visitors now have the chance to see something you can’t see anywhere else: the Gettysburg Cyclorama experience. Witness America’s largest painting, featuring a sound-and-light show and three-dimensional diorama. Your groups will be immersed in one of the pivotal moments at Gettysburg: Pickett’s Charge. Now restored, the Cyclorama experience is the must-do event during any Gettysburg visit and includes the filmA New Birth of Freedom. And your groups won’t want to miss the Gettysburg Museum of the American Civil War.

Licensed Battlefield Guided Tours: Gettysburg’s Licensed Battlefield Guides are an elite group of 150 people who have studied for years and passed extremely difficult exams, allowing them to earn a license from the National Park Service. No Gettysburg experience is complete without a tour of the battlefield, and no battlefield tour is complete without a Licensed Battlefield Guide. (The guide will join you on your bus.)

Eisenhower National Historic Site: President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his wife, Mamie, owned only one home in their lifetime — and it was here at Gettysburg.

(Tours leave from the Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center.)
