We look forward to welcoming you and your students to the Museum. Here are some tips to make the most of your visit.

Request your tour by calling the Tour Scheduler at 414-224-3842 or filling out the online form at mam.org > Learn + Play > School Tours.

Order buses/transportation early.

Tell us about any special needs when you request your tour. The Museum is wheelchair accessible. Assistive listening technology or an ASL interpreter for people with hearing impairments is available.

Plan the length of your visit. You have the option of self-guiding the Museum (without a docent) after your docent-guided tour. Please notify the Tour Scheduler if you plan to stay longer.

Planning Your Visit

Requesting a Tour

Before Your Tour Confirm your head count with the Tour

Scheduler and submit payment two weeks before your tour.

Please Note: No changes in head count or program/tour will be accepted after the two-week deadline. The Museum cannot offer a refund if your head count decreases after your payment has been made, and cannot accept payment at the door.

Prepare students for your trip by watching the Museum Manners video at mam.org/u/museum-manners. Visit teachers.mam.org for classroom activities.

Prepare chaperones. You will need one chaperone per 12 students; those chaperones are admitted free. (Additional adults will be charged a fee of $12.) Make sure they know the Chaperone Responsibilities (mam.org/u/chaperone-guide)—or have them watch the Museum Manners video at mam.org/u/museum-manners.
