Docent-Led Tours of UCMP

Thanks Saklan Valley School students! We enjoyed having you with us and we loved your dinosaur rap!

Visit T. rex, Pteranodon, and more!

Guided tours, accompanied by a graduate student docent, are available for school and youth groups. Group tours are scheduled depending upon availability of the docents. Maximum number of students per group is 25.

Please note: we do not give tours during the summer months (June–August).
