Group Visits

What Happens during a Trip to TCM?

Your day starts with a quick orientation for your group and the Chaperones.

After Orientation, each Chaperone can take their group of children into the Museum:

  • Explore the Neighborhood and perform on the stage in Bijou Theater.
  • Become a Sushi Chef in the Kobe House in Global Village.
  • Participate in the craft of the month in the Imagination Studio or make clay models or recycled sculptured.
  • Visit our traveling exhibit, TINKERTOY®: Build Your Imagination!

During your playtime in the Museum, you'll find our Educators leading groups of children in educational play activities. This can include a categories game in the Grocery Store, a Scavenger Hunt through the Museum or a nature hike up the Mountain. 


At lunch time, your group can walk upstairs to the food court to enjoy lunch or, weather permitting, enjoy lunch on the grass by International Fountain.

After lunch, it's back to the Museum, your group can return to playing in the Museum or pack up for the day!

 Special Offer: We'll provide your group with coupons for a discount on a return visit to the Museum!
