Description

Ever wonder what it’s like to be blind and rely on a Seeing Eye dog to go from one place to the next? Now here’s a chance for you and up to three family members to experience the thrill of being guided, under blindfold, by a specially bred and trained Seeing Eye dog.



Your experience begins with a quick tour of The Seeing Eye's main campus, located in the bucolic and historic Washington Valley, just outside Morristown. You and your guests will then meet the instructor and Seeing Eye dog with whom you’ll spend the morning.  You’ll all ride into town  to tour our Jane H. Booker Student Center in downtown Morristown. Here your time with the instructor will include an explanation of how guide dogs work and a hands-on demonstration of how the dog’s equipment is used. Then you and your family members will go under blindfold for the ultimate experience -- to be led by a fully trained Seeing Eye dog. Finally, you’ll return to the main campus to enjoy lunch in The Seeing Eye’s dining room before receiving a special gift bag filled with Seeing Eye merchandise.
