The Mandarin Museum & Historical Society offers guided tours to school groups and others throughout the year by advance reservation. Tours are led by knowledgeable and trained docents and can be tailored to the needs of the group.

The park and buildings are handicapped accessible. The farmhouse is located about a three-to-five minute walk from the parking lot along a paved path. The farmhouse is not air-conditioned and can be very hot during the summer months.

School tours normally run from 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Many of the students are in the fourth grade and the field trip augments the Florida history curriculum. A morning tour normally can accommodate about 60 students. They visit to the old Mandarin Store and Post Office, the Mandarin Community Club, and the Walter Jones Historical Park, which features the 1875 farmhouse. Starting in fall 2003, tours will also visit the new Mandarin Museum.

Picnic facilities and restrooms are available in the park. Some classes end their field trip with a picnic at Mandarin Park, which has a playground, picnic facilities, restrooms and riverfront dock.
