  • 1.  Early opening cost for groups

    Posted 08-26-2019 10:21 AM

    Hello,

     

    I'm looking for information on what other Museums charge groups that request an early opening? Do you charge extra per person with a minimum number or one group fee?

     

    Thank you,

    Laura

    Hello!

    We charge one early-open fee per group. It was $25/group but that wasn't covering the cost of our museum staff. It's $75/group for this school year. If two groups were both coming early, they would both be charged the early-open fee. 

    Hope this helps!
