Each Summer Self-Guided Group Visit runs from 10-11:30am or 1:30-3pm, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays.

A Self-Guided Group Visit is perfect for organizations looking to explore on their own. Can be scheduled for groups between 10 (minimum) and 60 (maximum) children and their *adult chaperones.

All groups are required to have one adult chaperone for every 5 children visiting the museum. Any additional chaperones beyond this ratio will be charged regular admission to the museum (they may use discount programs if applicable but there is not a discount for attending with the group). Please note that we no longer offer classrooms for snack or lunch. 

Fees: The fees for a Summer Self-Guided Group Visit are tiered flat rates based on number of participants.

10-20 Students + 4 Adult Chaperones: $180
21-30 Students + 6 Adult Chaperones: $270
31-40 Students + 8 Adult Chaperones: $360
41-50 Students + 10 Adult Chaperones: $450
51-60 Students + 12 Adult Chaperones: $540
* 1-to-1 Aides are ALWAYS free and do not count towards the total adult chaperones
