TOURS
Experience for yourself how Brookwood is changing the way the world thinks about adults with disabilities. Our tour docents will lead you on a one-hour walking tour through the community for a behind the scenes look at where our Citizens, live, work, play, and worship interdependently. Following the tour, you’ll have an opportunity to enjoy a gourmet lunch in our Brookwood Café and shop in our Gift and Garden Center. We recommend making your reservation in advance of your tour, especially during our very popular Christmas season.
