Planning Your Summer Group Visit
EATING ARRANGEMENTS
The Museum does not offer a space for group snacks or lunches. Groups are encouraged to enjoy snacks or bag lunches on the bus before or after their scheduled visit or, during the warmer weather months, at the outdoor picnic tables, Dover Adventure Playground, or amphitheater in Henry Law Park.
CHAPERONES
All groups are required to have one adult chaperone for every five children. Adult chaperones are any adult, including camp staff, who will accompany the students during the field trip. Any additional chaperones beyond this ratio will be charged regular admission to the Museum. (They may use discount programs if applicable, but there is not a discount for attending with the group). 1-1 Aides are ALWAYS free and do not count towards the total adult chaperones.
BUS PARKING
After you have unloaded your campers at 6 Washington Street, buses can park in Maglaras Park (down Henry Law Ave on the left).
DROP-IN PROGRAMS
Due to the discounted rate of group visits and capacity limits, special drop-in activities that are available for regular visitors are not available for groups.
ACCESSIBILITY
Ensuring accessibility to museum experiences for all is a central part of our mission. Please visit our Accessibility Page for more information.
CANCELLATIONS
If your plans have changed, please cancel at least two weeks in advance. We will make every effort to reschedule visits canceled due to poor weather conditions. The $50 deposit is not refundable.
ORIENTATION
Prepare your group for their visit by watching this short 3 minute orientation video.
Please note that we no longer offer lunch or snack space for visiting groups inside the museum.
