Frequently Asked Group Visit Questions

Museum classrooms can be reserved as a lunch room. 25 students every 25 minutes for $25. Limited availability. This rate is only available for school groups. Unavailable in June & July.

Are chaperones allowed on fieldtrips?

Yes. We require a ratio of one adult to five children for all groups. Chaperones must stay with and supervise their group at all times. To receive the group rate, all children and adults must be paid at once during the group check-in. Adults who have not registered with their group and paid their chaperone fee in advance must pay full admission price.

How soon in advance should field trips/group visits be booked?

In order to receive discounted group pricing, we require groups book at least two weeks in advance. However, because March-May are high-volume months for groups and availability fills up quickly, we recommend spring group bookings be made in January.

Where do buses and chaperones park?

A bus loading area is located in front of the museum. During drop-off, buses should pull alongside the curb. Museum staff (blue shirts) will greet and escort your group from the buses to the building for orientation. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your planned arrival time to allow time for check-in, payment, and orientation.

Buses may not remain in the loading zone after students have exited safely. Bus parking may be available in either the post office parking lot on East Fourth Street or at the Clinton Presidential Museum at the eastern end of President Clinton Avenue.

For chaperons in personal vehicles, free street and paid parking (metered or parking deck) are available within easy walking distance of the museum.
