Education Programs

All education programs at the Velma Morrison Visitor Center are designed to:

  • Be developmentally appropriate
  • Meet state required standards and curricular objectives
  • Emphasize active participation of students
  • Feature our fascinating raptors as a "lens for learning"

If you are planning on bringing a group of 15 or more, call to reserve a spot at least two weeks in advance. Your group will be scheduled with a personal tour guide, and receive a discounted admission.

School Groups

Students and school personnel for all school groups of 15 or more that schedule in advance are FREE. Parent chaperones are $5, and grandparent chaperones are $4.

Non-school Groups

For a non-school group of 15 or more scheduling at least two weeks in advance with a paid $30 deposit, prices are $6 for adults; $5 for seniors (62+); and $4 for youth ages 4-16.

A general tour includes a visit to all of our exhibits in the Biology/Ecology Wing, the Conservation Wing, the Rainforest Room, and the Discovery Room, as well as an introduction to our resident education birds, perfect for those who want to see a little bit of everything. A tour lasts approximately one and a half hours (one hour for grades Pre-K–1), and is appropriate for all grade levels.

As an alternative, you may choose from one of the special topic tours from the Group Programs page. Use the grade levels as a general guideline, but keep in mind that many of these special topic tours can be adapted to fit any grade level. All of the special-topic tours are one and a half hours in length. These include a visit to all of our exhibit areas, as well as a brief, hands-on activity or demonstration pertaining to the chosen topic.
