Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center
Activities begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. so everyone can head to the Opera House for our keynote presentation at 4 p.m.
The Visitor Center is the best place to start your Neutrino Day experience. From the Visitor Center, trolleys take visitors to Hoistroom Tours and school busses shuttle guests to other locations throughout the day.
Tickets for the Yates Hoistroom tour are available at the Visitor Center. Tours are free, but there is limited availability.
Top tip: Hoistroom tours spots fill up quickly! We recommend arriving early to get your ticket, but no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
Learn about the history and legacy of Lead through exhibits and view a model of the underground, Davis Ring and the Open Cut. On the observation deck, peer into the sun through a solar telescope.
Chat with scientists underground through our livestream presentations in the Visitor Center classroom. Join particle physicist Dr. Brianna Mount from the Black Hills State University Underground Campus on the 4850 Level (10 a.m. at the Visitor Center). Then talk with geophysicists Dr. Paul Schwering and Dr. Hunter Knox from the EGS Collab’s geothermal test site on the 4100 Level (1 p.m. at the Visitor Center).
