What is a Family Tour? These are informal guided tours through the museum that involve discussions about particular aspects of the Museum's exhibits. These tours are not prescheduled. Tours last typically 30 minutes, but the exact duration is subject to staff availability. If you desire guaranteed attention, with a guided tour of all exhibits, please consider scheduling a Private Tour.

What is a Private Tour? These are formal guided tours through the museum that involve discussions and hands-on activities about the ancient life and landscapes of Colorado’s Front Range including recent dinosaur discoveries made by Museum staff. This tour can also be modified for large Birthday Party groups. The duration of the tour is about 90 minutes. These tours must be prescheduled. The fee for a Private Tour is $4 per person with a $30 minimum for groups of seven or fewer. The maximum group size we can accommodate is 75.

What is a School Tour (Field Trip)? These are formal guided tours entwined with State educational standards. Students tour through the museum with a guide and participate in discussions and hands-on activities about the ancient life and landscapes of Colorado’s Front Range including recent dinosaur discoveries made by Museum staff. These tours must be prescheduled. The duration of the tour is 90 minutes on average. A chaperone/student ratio of 1:10 is suitable, but a ratio more that 1:5 is excessive. The fee for a School Tour is $3 per person with a $30 minimum for groups of ten or fewer. The maximum group size we can accommodate is 75. Please click on the “Education” link at the top of this page for more information.

What is a Birthday Party? These are informal tours coupled with the rental of a small room in the Museum. The museum tour focuses on hands-on demonstrations such as live reptile petting, preparing dinosaur bone, and painting a small cast of a dinosaur track. The duration of the tour is about 45-60 minutes. Following the tour, your group retires to a small room for you to “party” in. You are welcome to bring cake, ice cream, decorations, and presents. We suggest bringing a disposable table cloth at minimum. For frozen treats or drinks, please bring a cooler from home. Please do not bring boomboxes, alcohol, or sticky candy and gum. Piñatas are allowed. The entire duration of the program is about two hours. Birthday Parties must be prescheduled. The fee for this tour/room rental is $6 per person with a minimum of $60 for groups of less than ten participants. Because of the size of the “party room” we must restrict group size to 15 participants. If this maximum group size is too small for your group, consider scheduling a specialized Private Tour.
