Field Trips at AUMNH

Want to visit the museum and tour the collections? AUMNH can tour private groups through the behind the scenes of our collection for up to 25 people. The tour lasts between 60-90 minutes and discusses biodiversity and the importance of museums or can be customized to fit your classroom needs. Recommended for students 7 years and older. Option to add a program to your AUMNH tour, see above for pricing.

If your group is larger than 25, we recommend a joint field trip with the Davis Arboretum. A two-hour field trip includes a tour of the Arboretum, an activity or game, and part of the AUMNH mobile collections, both specimens and live animals (subject to weather). We focus on Alabama biodiversity, plants, animals, and nature or can customize to fit your classroom needs. Joint field trips with the Arboretum are located outside and our weather policy for programs held at the Arboretum is to cancel if the chance of rain is 40% or higher with the decision made the day before the program.
