Educational Programming at the Highlands Museum
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.
Tours
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.
