Groups
Call as soon as possible if you need to cancel, reschedule, or request special accommodations.
Arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled program or tour. If you are running late, we can arrange the best options possible for you if we know in advance.
Wear unified identification (name tags, school colors, or matching t-shirts). It is a safety precaution that helps us distinguish groups. Name tags provided by the museum are $7 for the group.
On Arrival
The group leader will sign in at the Group Visits Desk with confirmation, payment, and total count (including students and chaperones).
Buses will be greeted by someone in Group Visits to go over museum rules.
Groups will be instructed to unload bus into lines and lead scheduled location.
