Chaperone Ratios: Groups are expected to provide chaperones (including teachers) at a ratio of 1 adult per 5 students. These chaperones are admitted free of charge. Support staff and chaperones for students with significant needs are allowed at a 1:1 ratio at no charge.

Admission for additional adults beyond the required number is $14 each.

Visiting with multiple classes: It is possible for two classes from the same school (up to 60 students) to participate in this program back to back. One class will participate in the program led by Museum staff while the other class has a chaperone supervised visit within the Museum galleries and then the classes will switch.
