A variety of school tours are offered with Storytelling tours for grades 1-3 and Docent-led school tours for grades 4-12.

Additional classroom activities and background information is available on our Educator Resources page. All school tours are offered free of charge and must be scheduled with the Education department in advance. Please note all programs have limited availability and are subject to change. 

School tours are run only during the academic school year from October through June on weekdays Tuesday through Friday. You can find information about school tours in the FAQ section and submit a School Tour Request online.
