For example​...

  1. Let's say you're bringing your grade-level team of three classes, with a total of 75 kids, 3 teachers and 7 chaperones. Your tour will start at 10:00. We'll break the kids into three groups, and they'll rotate between two staff-led activities and one self-led activity.

  2. ​You're a teacher bringing a single class. Depending on class size, we'll have one or two groups rotating through two staff-led activities.

  3. You're a homeschool group. Depending on the size of your group, we may create multiple groups to rotate through two staff-led activities.

We're happy to answer your questions.

​We'll work with you to create a museum experience that meets your education goals.
