The Jane Addams Hull-House Museum is always free for self-guided visits.

Because of the size of the museum and to ensure access, we ask groups of ten or more to coordinate the timing of their visit with our team. If you are planning to bring a group of ten or more visitors, please email jahh@uic.edu and mention “Self-Guided Group” in the subject line.

Tours are available on Thursdays and Fridays for CPS school groups, and there is no fee.

Tours are available on Wednesdays and Thursdays for UIC groups. There is no fee for class tours.

Other UIC groups are encouraged to contribute $150 per tour to support the museum’s educational and programming initiatives. The preferred payment method is through an internal transfer.
