Price differences from grades K–6 to grades 7–12 are due to admission fees. The School Program fee for each program is all that you are required to pay for any additional program(s). The Admission Charge is only paid once per day. Costs include all applicable taxes. Costs are subject to change without notice. Prices listed are per student.
Most programs are designed for groups of 15–25 students. The minimum group size for tours is 15 students. If your group is smaller than 15, you may still book a program; however, you will be charged for 15 students. We can accommodate more than one group at a time. Help your program start on time by splitting your class into appropriately sized groups prior to arriving. Please consult chart below:
