Educators and students, visit the Jackie Robinson Museum for a unique look at the life and legacy of American hero, Jackie Robinson, as an athlete, activist, citizen, businessman, and family man. We welcome school groups (grades 5-12) to explore the Museum independently.

Review the guidelines below and request your visit today!

GUIDELINES FOR SELF-GUIDED STUDENT GROUPS

• Grade level: We feel that the Museum’s content and structure is most appropriate for students in grades 5 and up to explore independently. For classes in grades 2-4, we would love to have you visit, but we strongly recommend scheduling one of our field trip experiences rather than a self-guided visit. Learn more about field trips on the School Programs page.
• Group size: The maximum group size per time slot is 60 participants (including students + chaperones). For grades 5-8, we recommend a ratio of one adult per seven youth.
• Availability: Self-guided group visits are only available when the Museum is open to the public (Thursday – Sunday, 11am-6pm).
• Pricing: School groups will be charged a reduced admission rate of $5 per participant. A 25% deposit is required to confirm your reservation and the balance is due on or before the date of your visit by school-issued check or credit card. This rate is only available to K-12 schools visiting as a school field trip (i.e. not school-age children or groups visiting outside of school).

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your group will receive a brief introduction and orientation to our Museum from a member of our staff. From there, you’ll have the option of having your students explore independently with supervision from your chaperones, using the museum’s Scavenger Hunt activity to guide their exploration (free and available at the front desk), or implementing your own tour, lesson, or activity in the galleries. There is no time limit, but we find 60 to 75 minutes to be a typical visit duration. The Museum has two primary galleries and you can preview the components of each on the Exhibitions page.

To prepare for your visit, you are welcome to request a free classroom set of our Jackie Robinson Resource Guide booklets to introduce students to Jackie Robinson’s life and achievements.
