Group Visits

Explore the region’s diverse plant, animal, and human communities from the shoreline of Monterey Bay to the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains with your group.

A reservation is required for all groups of 10 or more people.  By scheduling your group in advance, you guarantee adequate time and space for your group as well as other visitors to the Museum. At this time groups may only book self-guided visits though staff are happy to provide an introduction to the Museum and answer questions.
