EDUCATION

The Highlands Museum & Discovery Center offers a variety of educational experiences designed to reach students of all ages.  Here at the museum we believe that learning is a life-long process.  Our educational experiences are aimed at multi-generational audiences.  From historical exhibits to the Discovery Center and workshops, there are learning opportunities for everyone to experience.

The Highlands Museum & Discovery center preserves and exhibits over 11,000 historical artifacts.  It is also home to an interactive children’s Discovery Center and a newly opened Space Science Hall.  There is a lot to see and do at the Highlands.  The museum offers three types of tours to help students get the most out of their experience:

• Self-Guided-Museum staff will provide a short introduction. The group then conducts their own tour of all areas of the museum.
• Semi-Guided-Groups are taken to each of the three floors of the museum and given a brief synopsis before being released to explore that individual floor on their own.
• Fully-Guided- Groups will be given an in-depth tour of exhibits on the all three floors of the museum.
