Group Visiting FAQ’s

 

May I bring my day campers or group for an unscheduled visit to the Children’s Museum?
Groups are welcome to visit the Children’s Museum, however, without reservations your group will be considered regular Museum visitors. We cannot provide unscheduled groups the same resources reserved for scheduled groups—such as guaranteed admission time, group rate, storage for personal belongings, lunch space and educator-led activities.

 

What is the cost for an unscheduled group visit?
Each visitor, including adult chaperones, has to pay regular admission rate ($8 per person) at the front desk prior to entry and should anticipate a line most days. Due to safety issues, if the Museum is fully booked when an unscheduled group arrives, the group may have to wait for entry until a scheduled group leaves the building.

 

How many adult chaperones does our group need?
One adult chaperone (age 18 years or older) for every 5 children is required.
