THE CALIFORNIA MUSEUM GENERAL/YOUTH AND SCHOOL TOUR

Reservations for Self-Guided General Youth Tours involve college students, church groups, seniors, youth groups, etc. The key is that there is a minimum of 10 and max of 60 people. If you have a home school, it would go in this category (and not school) due to the minimum/maximum limit. The fees are higher and are listed under Tour Notes.

Reservations for School Groups have a minimum of 30 and max of 60 students. The California Museum will be handling the Commercial Tours on their end.
