On any one day, a school may bring a maximum of three groups totaling 105 students, provided that there is one chaperon for every fifteen students. Please do not exceed the chaperon limit of one for every fifteen students. All fees are waived for schools located within the five boroughs of New York City. Due to heavy demand and the resulting reapportionment of existing spaces, we regret that we are unable to offer lunch facilities this school year. Groups are not able to purchase food or beverages in the Museum.
Central Park is convenient for picnic lunches.
You are encouraged to visit the online collection or review current and upcoming special exhibitions for possible tour topics. There are several types of school group visits. Cancellations If you must cancel your appointment, please call the reservation line and listen for the cancellation option. The option to cancel is available twenty-four hours a day. Fees cannot be returned to groups that cancel their reservation with less than two weeks notice.
