All programs are student-focused and activity-based.
Learning Labs will be offered Monday through Friday from October 2023 - June 2024
for Kindergarten through 12th grade students of all abilities.
Some programs are only offered on certain days or months, so please double check!

Lunch outside at the Warnock Model Boat Pond includes bathroom access, trash cans, stools, Museum staff person

Chaperone Policy
Adult/student ratio of 1:5 applies for all on-site visits.
If you have more adults than the 1:5 ratio, adults numbering 7-10 may receive a discounted admission of $8 per person.
If the group has more than 10 adults (and does not have the youth to make it 1:5), extra adults will be charged
standard adult admission at the front gate.
Aides for students requiring one-to-one accommodation visit for free regardless of ratio.
Chaperones are expected to remain with their group for the duration of the visit to the Museum, including
the Museum Store. Chaperones are expected to guide youth through exhibits and on the grounds while also
enforcing all behavioral requirements. These include but are not limited to walking feet, inside voices, treating exhibits
with respect (no climbing), and treating Museum crew and other Museum patrons with equal respect.
