Teacher-guided school visits

School groups are welcome to book a teacher-guided visit to our museums.

It is essential that all teacher-guided groups book an entry time to avoid disappointment as our site capacities are limited and busy with paid learning programs. Site capacities will be strictly enforced to ensure the safety and comfort of all visitors, including students and teachers.

For Hyde Park Barracks and Susannah Place general admission museum entry charges apply. All entry must be paid by credit card at the time of booking prior to the admission date. You will be contacted by a staff member to take payment and confirm your booking. Please note we are unable to hold or reserve tickets for Teacher-guided museum general admission bookings.

For all other museums, teacher-guided visits are only available on the days that the museums are open.
