JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT
AIRPORT TOUR GUIDELINES
Guided tours of the Thomas F. Riley Terminal are offered, free of charge, as part of the John
Wayne Airport Public Affairs Program. Volunteer tour guides, including private pilots, teachers,
executives and Airport employees, donate their time to familiarize the public with the Terminal.
Tour Features - Tours begin at the John Wayne statue on the Arrival (lower) Level (bring your
camera!). Groups view and receive explanations of how planes fly, the Wright Brothers flight,
terminal architecture, historical photo displays, rental car areas, baggage carousels, airline ticket
counter areas, security checkpoints, flight display monitors, paging, and skycap activity. The last
stop on the tour is an area where the participants can view the airfield and planes taking off and
landing. Due to heightened security, tour groups are currently NOT permitted entry to the secured
side of the Terminal. (The FAA does not permit tours of the Control Tower. The Fire Station does
not allow tours.)
Scheduling a Tour - Tours are scheduled in advance (usually two or more weeks). Tours are
offered at non-peak traffic hours, usually 10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (call
regarding other start times). Saturday tours can also be arranged. The tour lasts between 1 to 11/2 hours. A "Fun Guide," with educational pages and games, is available free of charge to
youngsters.
Group Size - Tour groups can be as small as seven participants, and are limited to a maximum of
25, including chaperones. Larger groups (a maximum of 50 people on a given day) can be
accommodated, but will be divided into two groups who will tour simultaneously. Children must be
at least five years old and/or in first grade and must be accompanied by an appropriate number of
adult chaperones. High School and college tours may be arranged with aviation career speakers
provided.
Parking - For private cars, convenient short-term parking is available in all the lots at a cost of $2
per hour. This is the only cost involved for the tour. Due to heightened security, all vehicles may
be searched when entering the parking structures.
