Sightseeing at Grace Cathedral
An iconic destination for history, arts, and architecture.
Grace Cathedral is a stunning, awe-inspiring building and the center of our community. The cathedral is famed as a destination for visitors from all over the world who come to see its striking architecture, stunning stained glass, labyrinths, Interfaith AIDS Chapel, Aeolian-Skinner organ, and religious and secular art by Keith Haring, Ansel Adams, Lorenzo Ghiberti and more. For a minimal admission fee that supports that cathedral, experience the wonder of Grace!
An interactive self-guided journey is included with admission, or add a docent-led “Highlights” or “Architecture” tour for a deeper exploration. A children’s map is also available to explore the cathedral on a treasure hunt.
Those seeking a private place for prayer or meditation will be welcomed at no admission cost during sightseeing hours.
