Youth group tours are offered on all days the museum is open, except Sundays.  Youth group tours can include classroom exercises, scavenger hunts, films, and various special events.

May I bring my class for a field trip?

Yes!  During the school year, the museum offers field trips with an enrichment activity followed by a focus tour.  Classroom activities at the museum feature a demonstration or a mane-and-take project.  Each session is limited to 30 students.  Home school groups are welcome as well, with a minimum of 10 students an no more than a 2-year age difference between the students.

May I bring a pre-school group to the museum?

The museum offeres several age-appropriate undersea story times followed by a focus tour of the exhibits.  Pre-schoolers are given a coloring sheet to take home.

Will my group need chaperones?

Youth and school groups must be chaperoned at all times in the museum.  At least one adult must accompany every 10 students.  An adult with a baby or small child is not considered a suitable chaperone.  Chaperones must accompany groups at all times, including during tours, demonstrations, films, and while in the museum store.  Students are not allowed in the museum store without an adult.

Where can my group eat lunch?

The museum has no food service facilities.  Eating and drinking are not allowed in exhibit areas, lobby, or most classroom spaces.  Picnicking on the lawn outside is suggested for groups bringing their own lunches; there is a nice park in the town of Keyport, not far from the museum.

What about accessibility?

The museum is wheelchair accessible.  The museum has two wheelchairs for use that are free of charge.  They can be obtained from the information desk.  Oral or sign language interpreters are available if requested at least two weeks in advance.  Please let us know if someone in your group needs special assistance.
