Self-Guided Group Visit

Selected date

Wednesday April 12

Selected time

9:30 AM  –  11:30 AM

Each Self-Guided Group Visit runs from 9:30-11:30am, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Fridays.

A Self-Guided Group Visit is perfect for teachers or organizations looking to explore on their own. Can be scheduled for groups between 12 (minimum) and 60 (maximum) children and their *adult chaperones.

All groups are required to have one adult chaperone, whether that is a parent or a teacher, for every 5 children visiting the museum. Any additional chaperones beyond this ratio will not be included in the field trip booking, and 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 Self-Guided Group Visit are tiered flat rates based on number of participants.

12-20 Students + 4 Adults: $140
21-30 Students + 6 Adults: $210
31-40 Students + 8 Adults: $280
41-50 Students + 10 Adults: $350
51-60 Students + 12 Adults: $420

1-to-1 Aides are ALWAYS free and do not count towards the total adult chaperones.
*Adult chaperones are any adult, whether a parent or a teacher, who will accompany the students during the field trip. 

The non-refundable $50 deposit purchased here will reserve your date and time. We will reach out to you after you reserve and confirm the number of children and adults joining this program. The balance must be paid 2 weeks prior to the visit date.

Title 1 Schools: If you are from a school-wide Title 1 NH School, then you can schedule a FREE Self-Guided Group Visit with a minimum of 12 participants, and a MAXIMUM of 60 students + up to 12 adult chaperones, depending on the group size. We also reimburse 50% of bus costs for these visits, up to a maximum of $200. If this applies to your school, please choose the "MIR Self-Guided Group Visit" price type below to reserve a date/time for $0. Once we receive your reservation, we will confirm that you are from a Title 1 school. Please note that we will still need you to answer the questions about number of participants, etc. from the confirmation email you will get after you book. Title 1 Schools must schedule their free visits for a date before the end of March 2024.

Drop-in Programs: Due to the discounted rate of group visits, special drop-in activities happening at the Museum that are available for regular visitors, are not available for groups. If you would like a special activity during your visit, consider booking an Educator-led STEAM Workshop for your group.

When booking this visit online, please only put in the number "1" when choosing the options below (in other words, you won't put in the number of visitors here. You are only reserving the date and paying the deposit here.) Right after booking you will receive an email with a prompt for you to send more information to us about your total numbers, contact info, etc.
