A field trip to the Kelsey includes a docent-led tour of our galleries and an optional hands-on activity. Guided tours are offered Tuesdays through Fridays, 10:00 AM through 3:00 PM. Tours last from 30 minutes to an hour, while activities typically take 30–45 minutes to complete.
The third Thursday of each month (1:00–3:00 PM) is dedicated to serving homeschool groups. If you lead a homeschool group, we encourage you to visit during this time slot.
