K-12 tours are divided into groups of approximately 12 students and each group is assigned its own docent. There is no charge for school group visits to the museum, including all chaperones. Tours last approximately one hour, but can be adjusted for individual class needs. For school groups with additional time, hands on activities can be made available dependent on group size.
