Visiting the LANSCE Facilities

Guidance for Tour Requestors

Throughout the year, LANSCE hosts a variety of work-related visits. Many visitors request tours of the accelerator, instruments, and laboratories. These visitors may represent: academia, industry, national laboratories; and local, tribal, state, or the federal government. LANSCE also supports educational outreach tours.

Contact LANSCE Tours by email: ta53tours@lanl.gov to schedule a visit to LANSCE or arrange a tour. Employee volunteers can accommodate a limited number of non-work-related educational outreach tours for established organizations, such as schools or universities. 

LANSCE is not open to the public. All users must request access and register before visiting LANSCE. The host must approve all travel to and from LANSCE.
