Before You Visit
1. Print Your Confirmation
Look over the second e-mail we sent you and print it out to bring with you the day of your visit. If you have not recieved a confirmation after 2-3 weeks, or something doesn't look right, please contact us.
2. Fill out your Chaperone Guide
Print and fill out a Chaperone Guide with any reservation or meeting information and photocopy one for all the chaperones. You may also want to include an itinerary or activity.
3. Pre-vist the Museum
Scope out the space and know what to expect by coming for a pre-visit. California teachers always get in free, just bring your school ID and show it to a Sales Associate when you arrive.
4. On the Bus
On the way to the Museum, count students (include every classroom coming on the trip) and adults (teachers, chaperones and aides) and jot it down. Do your best to give us exact numbers.
We look forward to your visit!
