We believe children are best served when learning outside of school supports learning in the classroom, and vice versa. We align all of our exhibits and programs to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Children have the opportunity to apply what they have learned in school and gain experiences to prepare them for future learning in class.
One chaperone is required for every five children and is admitted free. Teachers are included in this chaperone ratio.
Full payment is due 30 days prior to your visit. The Museum does not provide day of arrival adjustment or refunds. All sales are final, no refunds or exchanges. Groups with fewer students than reserved will receive general Museum admission tickets (one ticket for each student that is paid for but is not attending). Tickets may be used for additional chaperones (2) accompanying your group. Excludes Title 1 admission program sponsored schools. Refunds will be made only in the event of Museum equipment failure, such as power failures or malfunctions in equipment.
Outside food is not permitted in the Museum.
Please let us know if your students have special challenges.
Souvenir grab bags are available from our Museum Gift Shop for $4.00. If your organization is tax exempt, please bring a copy of your certificate. Please place your order at least 48 hours in advance of your visit.
Teachers are expected to screen their student’s health prior to arriving to the Museum. Schools and organizations may be asked to provide signed confirmation that no student on a tour is ill.
Schools are responsible to provide students with ID tags that include the name and telephone number of the sponsoring institution.
