All About
We are devoted to bringing educational experiences to school groups, daycare centers, day-camps, special needs students, home-school groups, youth groups and other educational institutions. All of our tours are developed with age appropriate activities. Students benefit by interacting with objects relevant to their daily studies. Teachers benefit by receiving pre/post visit materials and by meeting academic standards.
Visiting Us
We offer guided tours for groups of 10 to 90 and self-guided tours for groups less than 10 and more than 90.
