Tours currently depart at the top of each hour from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. seven days a week. Tours run approximately one hour long and depart from the main lobby (Rotunda) of the College located at 74 King Street.
Tickets may be purchased in the lobby gift shop prior to each tour or at Flagler’s Legacy located at 59 St. George Street.
Pricing for non-St. Johns County residents is $10 for adults and $1 for children under the age of 12, which includes a complimentary Flagler College Coloring and Activity book.
