I would (a) ask the grad coordinator for the department and (b) ask if there's a particular event for admitted students (a lot of departments have them) - if the answer is yes, there may be funds to assist in travel or whatever. If they don't have an admitted students event, I'd be surprised if they'd offer money to fly you out/cover visiting costs - and if they don't have an event, again, I would ask the grad coordinator who to get in touch with about arranging a visit.

I got an email from one school I was admitted to a week and a half or so after I got my acceptance, so they may have something in the works.

My department does have funds to help with getting people out here to visit. Since we put up our admitted students with grad students & host two dinners, potential grads are off the hook for the most expensive $$$ outlays.

If they have a recruitment weekend, they'll probably let you know. If I were you I'd hang out a little longer and see if they invite you to any, and also wait to hear back from your other schools.

Good luck!

I second the idea to wait. You should at least wait to see if you get other acceptances.
