Docents:
All of our docents (tour guides) are students that have at least a basic physics background. We try very hard to schedule one docent per 15-25 kids within a group. Multiple docents per tour, is entirely up to the availability each individual docent for that tour time and the number of kids that are visiting the museum. Please Note: The dosents are students with course work to due and exams. Therefor we try "very hard" to assign a student for your guide. However, sometime we are just unable to schedule a guide for a giving tour. If this occurs we are extremely sorry.
Tours:
Please try to schedule your tour at least one week before desired date. This will give us a better chance of getting you a docent(s) for your group.
When scheduling a group tour, reserve one hour for our typical guided tour. Which consists of a 15 to 25 minute tutorial of several exhibits and the rest of the time is set aside for free play & self discovery. Of course, tour durations can very depending on your time constraints. Kids can often fine plenty to do within our museum to keep them engaged for well over an hour. If you are jumping to another UW venue, please budget about 15 minutes to get to your next appointment.
Large groups:
Large groups of 40 or more will require special accommodations. I strongly suggest that you contact Campus and Visitor Relations to schedule your tour of our museum. We highly recommend that these large groups are broken into 2 or more smaller groups of around 30 kids each for back-to-back tours. Campus and Visitor Relations is much better equipment to help you with such logistics and can suggest other UW campus venues to visit in the interim and bus parking.
For large groups visiting the museum that can not be broken due to time constraints or other factors; A self-guided tour is the best we can do.
