Programs are held at the Visitor Center and outside on the grounds of Oakland Cemetery.
Student tickets are $10 for children of Historic Oakland Foundation members, and $12 for children of non-members. Adult tickets are free. Space is limited, and tickets must be purchased in advance. For more information, contact Ted Ward at tward@oaklandcemetery.com.

How do I purchase tickets?
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Student tickets are $8 for children of Historic Oakland Foundation members, and $10 for children of non-members. Adult tickets are free.
What are the expectations for adult participation? Do I need to stay with my child(ren)?
Parents and guardians are welcome and encouraged to stay with their students during the program. A portion of each program is spent on the grounds of Oakland Cemetery, so you will also have an opportunity to learn about this historic site along with the students.
How do we prepare for the visit?
Be sure to purchase tickets and view our Plan Your Visit page for details about visiting Oakland. While we have a time set aside for lunch, we are asking students and parents to bring their lunch on-site, and we will use the classroom space in the Visitor's Center during this time.
I registered my child(ren), but we can no longer attend the program. What should I do?
Please email Ted Ward at tward@oaklandcemetery.com as soon as possible to let us know you won’t be coming. Because of the limited capacity of each program, there is often a waiting list. Your tickets can be applied to a future Homeschool Day.
