Welcome educators

Bring your learners to the museum for history and ecology tours, or bring the museum to your location through our outreach program! More information and descriptions of tour and outreach offerings are listed in the PDF of our Education Programs Booklet at the bottom of this page. We are always happy to create an outreach specifically for your group or classroom if you have a particular topic you want covered but do not see on the list.


You can book a tour or in-classroom outreach for dates starting October 17th through the end of the 2022-2023 school year using the forms indicated below.


**Please note that our outreach offerings are subject to staff and material availability**
