As at prior International History Olympiads, students and participants in the Family and Friends Program (Extended Option) will have the chance to visit numerous sites while at the Olympiad. However, in 2024, the Field Trip options will work differently than in the past due to regulations surrounding how groups may visit sites. Please note the following general guidelines:
1. All of the following museums and sites that are listed will be open next summer and are open to group visits.
2. However, in most cases, groups are limited to somewhere between 15-30 participants (including guides) at a time.
3. Many of these sites do not permit groups to reserve until somewhere between 6-12 weeks in advance of the requested visit.
4. It is not at all clear (and will not be for some months, indeed, quite possibly it won’t be until the aforementioned 6-12 weeks in advance of the Olympiad) how many groups will be allowed to visit each site. Thus we cannot guarantee that participants will be able to visit the sites other than the walking tours (which IAC itself will be organizing, and for which we can assign extra staff as needed). It is also possible that some of the museums listed below will be unavailable, and it is also possible that others may be added to the list.
5. That said, we will ask each museum / site for as many tour slots as possible.
6. Once they assign us tour slots, we will then post them on the Field Trip Selection System on a rolling basis. These will each have a field cap. Students and FFP Extended Option Participants can then select tour slots.
7. As tour slots fill up, we will go back to each museum / site and ask for additional slots as needed.
8. You will be able to delete your registration for a tour if a different tour becomes available that you wish to register for instead.
9. Your chances of obtaining the tours and museums you want will be much higher if you frequently check the registration system for available tours.
10. Note that most, if not all, tours will overlap with optional competitions. Please do not select a tour slot if you would prefer to compete instead. The times for all competitions will be confirmed and finalized before registration for any tours is available.
11. Only Students and FFP Extended Option Participants who have registered and for whom payment has been received will be able to register for tours!
