How it's used
Focuses on the act of touring or inspecting a facility rather than just dropping by for a social visit. It implies a sense of purpose or learning, often used for schools, factories, or exhibitions. When visiting a friend or relative, use 探 instead.
Examples
We are going to visit the museum next week.
Have you visited this new school yet?

Common mistake
Do not use this for visiting people. Using 參觀 for a person sounds like you are treating them as an exhibit in a museum.
