Self‐Guided Activities
Self-Guided Visits may be scheduled Tuesday – Friday. These tours allow you and your class to visit NHM on your own. A Museum staff person will greet your group upon arrival and provide an orientation to the museum.
A minimum of one adult per ten students is required. One adult per five students is preferred.
Please plan to divide your class into small groups (no larger than ten) while visiting. Each group needs to have at least one adult leader.
