Group tours must be booked at least 14 days in advance. Please note that groups can only be booked up to 3 months in advance. Please do not submit a duplicate request if you have already filled out the Group Request Form.

Submitting a Group Request Form does not mean your group has been confirmed and added to the calendar. The Large Group Experience Coordinator will email you to get more information about your group, give you a price quote, and confirm that your tour has been booked.

Guided group tours are subject to docent availability but are typically available during museum hours.

Groups of 20 or more receive discounted admission rates with advance registration.

The maximum group size we can accommodate on docent-led and self-guided tours is 30 people at a time. Larger groups will need to divide and take separate staggered tours.
