The Museum's Education Department is committed to supporting all teachers, public and private, in their efforts to educate our youth. By far the most popular school group activity at the Museum is the guided tour.

Guided tours may be scheduled by calling the Education Department at (619) 234-9291, ext. 19, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Schedule:

• School group tours are scheduled at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. No tours are scheduled on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
• Our April, May and June schedules fill up quickly. Planning your visit for other months will give you a better selection of available dates.

• One adult supervisor is required for every 1-10 students (one per five for children under six). Additional adults must pay the regular admission fee of $6.00.
• Supervisors MUST remain with the group and are responsible for good group behavior.
• Teachers with groups second grade or younger may take their students on an abbreviated visit through the museum.

• FREE to school groups from San Diego County with an advance reservation.
• Out-of-county school groups receive a discounted group rate ($1.00 for students, $5.00 for adults) with an advance reservation.
• Groups without a reservation must pay the regular admission fees of $2.00 per student and $6.00 per adult.

Teachers, you are welcome to visit the museum for class planning purposes free of charge through prior arrangement with the Education Department. Also, with proper identification, you are allowed a 15% discount in the Museum Store on books, posters, and other educational materials.
