COVID-19 Update: We currently are only offering self guided tours of the Museums.
We are requiring all school groups break into 10 people (9 kids & 1 chaperone). One group of 10 is allowed into the Museum at a time. We suggest you plan an alternate activity outside the museum for other groups.
Please note reservations are required for all school groups visiting the Museum. Reservations cannot be made less than 2 weeks in advance.
