About The Museum - Tour the Museum

Guided historical tours can be arranged for groups of 20 or more. The cost of a guided tour is $5 for adults $3 for student 12 and under and advance reservations are needed.  Tour book up quickly please book at least 3 months in advance from desired date.

Fire Safety tours, conducted by members of the FDNY's Education Unit and retired NYC fire fighters, take approximately one hour. The level and length of the tour is adjusted to the age and interest of the group.

The tour consists of an introduction to the Fire Museum, a guided visit to the Museum's first floor apparatus room, and an interactive fire safety and prevention presentation. This involves participation in a safe, simulated smoke/fire situation.

The group visits a mock apartment equipped with lasers, black lights, safe smoke and other devices that illustrate common fire hazards and promote safer living environments. Any individuals with breathing problems or asthma can observe rather than participate. It is recommended that comfortable clothing be worn for this activity.

To arrange a tour for your group or class please call us at 1.212.691.1303 x 14. We look forward to your visit!
