There are so many things that make ANU a special place to study, live and work, and what better way to see if ANU is your place than a free guided tour of our beautiful campus?

Join us for a walk down University Avenue to Kambri and explore state-of-the-art learning facilities, libraries and student residences. Along the way we will share our own experiences and insights into life at ANU.

Campus tours are a free, one-hour guided outdoor walk, rated as easy. Tours are offered every second Saturday throughout the year with additional tours available during the school holidays*. Tickets are limited, so bookings are essential.

See below a full list of campus tour dates for 2025, as well as information on virtual and self-guided tours.
