All guided and self-guided groups must make advance reservations. To schedule your visit, please contact the Interpretive Programs Department at the Everhart Museum during regular business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm).

Reservations are made on a first-come, first served basis, and should be made at least 2 weeks in advance of your visit; allow five to six weeks if you are planning to visit from April to June. Please have several alternative dates and times in mind. We recommend you allow an additional half-hour if your group intends to visit the Gift Shop.

When you call, you will be asked for the following information:

• School name, address and phone number
• Teacher’s name
• Type of Tour
• Preferred date(s) and time(s)
• Grade and age of students
• Class size and number of chaperones
• Class needs (wheelchair, second-language, etc.)
• Gift shop visitation or Gift Bag Reservation
• Pavillion reservation

Confirmation

All groups will receive written confirmation within 10 days after their reservation is made. Please review the confirmation and notify the Interpretive Programs Department of any necessary changes.

Cancellations

If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call the Interpretive Programs Department as soon as possible so that other groups on our waiting list can be contacted. Groups that do not show up for scheduled tours will be assessed a $25 fee.

Payment

Payment in full for all guided and self-guided visits is requested on the day of your visit, and may be made by check, credit card, or cash upon check-in. Please give the cashier an exact count of all children and adults in your group. Payment includes admission to the Museum for the rest of the day.

Self-Guided Tours

Teachers interested in taking their classes on individual self-guided tours of the Everhart Museum may do so during regular public hours (M, Th, Fri, 12:00 to 4:00 pm) and for regular admission ($3/student, $5/adult). Due to possible conflicts of time and space, self-guided tours are asked to follow the same reservation procedure as scheduling any other group visit.
