Guidelines for School Tours:

• All tours are booked on a "first call, first served" basis.
• Docents are limited and may not always be available.
• We expect, at a minimum, one adult (teacher or parent) for each ten students. That adult's job is to maintain order and discipline.
• No food, drinks or chewing gum are allowed inside the museum.
• If you are going to be late, please call and let us know. We will release the docents 30 minutes after your scheduled time of arrival if we have not heard from you.
• Payment for the tour is upon arrival at the Nimitz Museum. One person pays for the entire group. We cannot accept advance payment.
• Please call if you are going to cancel the tour so we can free up the date for other tours.

Teacher Orientation:

Groups of educators are welcome at the museum. Please contact the Education Programs coordinator at (830)997-4379 ext. 227, or e-mail: richard.koone@thc.state.tx.us for assistance. We can provide a tour of the museum as an overview or can concentrate on a topic of your choice. We can assist you in utilizing our existing TEKS based lesson plans or in developing a more detailed program to meet your specific needs.
