Group Tours FAQ

Please review the following tips before you arrive at the museum. 

Does the museum have a gift shop?

Does the museum have a cafeteria?

  • The museum has a small cafe with indoor seating. Picnic tables are also available in the rear and front of the museum. The Director of Education can also provide you with information about local restaurants and cafes. 

What if my group is late?

  • Although we make every effort to be flexible with our guided tours, your visit may be abbreviated if your group arrives late. If you anticipate being late, please call the Director of Education at 804.342.9652.

Are there special rules and procedures for group tours?

  • Yes. To ensure that your group gets the most out of its visit, please review the museum rules before your arrival. For student groups, please share the information with adult chaperones who will join your group.

Can multiple tours be scheduled on the same day?

  • Yes, depending on that day's schedule and the number of people in your group.

How early do I need to schedule a tour?

  • We ask that group tours be scheduled at least three weeks in advance. Please be aware that our schedule for March, April, and May fills up quickly each year. The earlier you contact us, the more likely you will be able to secure your preferred tour date and time.
