A field trip to the Grand Rapids Public Museum is a great way to learn about history, science, and culture!
Learners can explore 3 floors of engaging exhibits at their own pace with a self-guided format. Discounted pricing and engaging add-on experiences, such as curriculum-aligned Guided Education Programs and planetarium presentations, are available only through Group Reservations. Group Reservations are available for a minimum group size of 10 students. For additional questions, contact Group Scheduling at groups grpm. Unfortunately, the Spillman Carousel is temporarily unavailable as we undergo Phase 1 of the Museum expansion project.
We are expecting this popular exhibit to reopen in Spring Payment is due 7 calendar days before your visit. Membership benefits cannot be applied to group reservations. Group reservations are special events with exclusive programs and amenities created just for the group.
Tickets for these activities are available only through the group leader and at the group rate. Groups bringing lunches will find a designated cart for their coolers and boxes.
Please leave all lunch items on the cart and Museum staff will deliver them to your assigned room. Having lunch materials labeled with your group name is highly recommended. As you enter the buliding, please follow staff directions for keeping the front lobby clear and organized. We do not issue refunds for unused tickets. Exceptions to this policy may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please call the Museum at if your arrival time differs from your itinerary. No, the lunchroom space is only available to your group during the time frame scheduled on your itinerary.
