You can fill out a field trip inquiry form above. Once we receive your inquiry, our Education Coordinator will be in touch within 3-5 business days.
All field trips, group tours, and homeschool groups must schedule a reservation in advance. General admission is not intended for large groups.
For smaller groups, including homeschool groups, we have a minimum of 10 visitors. The maximum number of visitors we allow for larger school field trips is 125 (chaperones included). If your group is larger than 125, they will need to be divided over two or more days. Please contact the Education Coordinator for more information.
Yes, we have a firm limit of 1 educator for every 10 students and 3 parent chaperones per class. Allowances can be made for Special Education staff and aids.
No, we close the museum to the public during our field trips. Chaperones must check in with the museum’s Visitor Services before joining the school. If an adult arrives at the museum and is not on the chaperone list, they will not be allowed to join the field trip.
Yes, we build time for lunch into the field trip schedule. We recommend lunches be placed in a wagon, box, or ice chest for easy transportation and storage. We do not allow food delivery to the museum during field trips. We have enough picnic tables for 1-2 classes and blankets for a picnic style lunch on the front lawn of the Moore home.
When you arrive, have buses pull up to the front gate on 5th Street (the one in front of the big, white house) to unload students and someone will be there to greet you. Buses can park in the dirt lot across from the museum’s entrance, and we invite bus drivers to come in and visit our gallery free of charge!
Yes, we love homeschool groups! We are happy to work with you to create an engaging and fun program based on your students’ age(s) and current learning objectives.
We have plenty of free parking near and around the museum. There are several small lots nearby, or individual parking spots along Liberty Street, 5th Street, and Houston Street.
Yes, we have four single stall all-gender accessible restrooms inside our main museum gallery building, as well as an additional restroom building in the back of our complex with two women’s stalls and two men’s stalls.
In the case of inclement weather, schools will be given the opportunity to reschedule if possible or the deposit will be refunded.
