Please review the following key tips to ensure a terrific time for all:

  • Review the “Museum Manners” with your students and chaperones.
  • Collect money from your students prior to the day of your visit in order to begin your tour on time. The Museum accepts cash; checks, major credit cards, and purchase orders.
  • Arrive 10 minutes prior to you scheduled time-call (520) 624-2333, ext.111 if there is an unexpected delay.
  • Leave backpacks, large bags, food & drinks on the bus or in the classroom-they are not permitted in the Museum.
  • There are no school-group dining facilities at the Museum; however bag-lunches can be enjoyed in the courtyard of the Museum (weather permitting).
  • The best field trip experience is when the teachers and chaperones are active participants in the experience! Consider making a pre-trip visit with family or friends to become familiar with the collections. The Museum is open every day except major holidays and Mondays. The first Sunday of every month is free.
  • Bus parking is available at the corner of Telles Street and Meyer Avenue and also directly in front of the Museum’s 140 N. Main Avenue entrance doors.
