All guided and self-guided groups must make advance reservations. To schedule your visit, please contact the Education Department at the Everhart Museum during regular business hours. Reservations are made on a first-come, first served basis, and should be made no less than 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, phone, and fax numbers
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
Pavillion reservation
Confirmation
All groups will receive written confirmation at least 10 days prior to their scheduled visit. Please review the confirmation promptly and notify the Education Department of any necessary changes.
Cancellations
If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call the Education Department at 570.346.7186 as soon as possible so that other groups on our waiting list can be contacted. Groups that do not show 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 tour guide an exact count of all children and adults in your group. An invoice will be provided upon payment.
Self-Guided Tours
Teachers interested in taking their classes on individual self-guided tours of the Everhart Museum may do so for a reduced fee of $4 per student. 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.
