How to Choose the LHS Program
that is Best for Your School
I want my class to experience exciting
exhibits at LHS.
You can schedule a GROUP VISIT. These
are self-guided tours of our exhibits and facilities. Group Visits offer
you the greatest scheduling flexibility. Unlike other LHS programs that
must be booked and paid for at least 30 days in advance, group visits
can be reserved, space permitting, up to 24 hours before the visit and
paid for upon arrival. Please note: We do encourage booking as far in
advance as possible to be certain that space is available.
Location: LHS only.
Number of participants: 12 or more paying visitors for a discounted
rate.
