RESERVE A TOUR FOR YOUR SCHOOL GROUP
Join the 3,000 k-12 school children who visit PWM annually and take a tour with your classroom or organization and learn all about wildlife, wildlife conservation, and what we can do to protect global biodiversity!
Our trained docents will guide you and your students through a wildlife-conservation-themed tour of our museum showcasing our extensive collection of taxidermy, fossils, and artifacts. Inspire awe and wonder in your students as you get immersed in our dioramic exhibits and meet, first hand, some of the resident reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals in our live small animal collection!
School tours are available throughout the academic school year (Sept. - May). Tuesday and Thursday tours begin at 10:30am, and Wednesday and Friday tours begin at 11:40am. If bringing bag lunches, please feel free to enjoy in our courtyard area for the half hour after your tour.
