While the video content and immersive environments are appropriate for children of all ages, school-age children will get the most benefit from the experience. Guides are trained facilitators with experience leading tours and engaging in age-appropriate discussions.
Poverty Encounter environments are highly stimulating and realistic in nature. Adults and children with autism, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, claustrophobia or any other special needs should speak directly with a Poverty Encounter team member in advance of their tour to ensure appropriate accommodations can be made. Teachers or parents are invited to walk the Poverty Encounter rooms prior to the tour if there are any concerns.
Tours begin every 20 minutes. Visit Get Tickets to book a visit.
The first 90 minutes of your experience will be an immersive and interactive tour, followed by a 30-minute service activity, where you take immediate action to bring help and hope to children around the world.
