Museum Field Trips at Montlake are no longer available.

Please check back with us next school year. MOHAI will be offering lots of exciting new field trip programs at our new South Lake Union location beginning in early 2013.

We are still offering portable museum rentals and in-class programs through July 31st, 2012. Please reserve your Portable Museum trunk or kit a minimum of two weeks in advance with our online form. For general inquiries, contact Alyssa Kay, Education Assistant at (206) 324-1126 Ext. 13.

Self-Guided Visit

Explore the museum with your students and chaperones. MOHAI will provide activities for our Essential Seattle Exhibit or you can design your own. Make sure the exhibit you want to see is open when you are coming. Some galleries are closed occasionally for special events. Self-Guided visits are $50 per group (1-15 students) or $100 (16-30 students).

Note: Advance Booking is required. MOHAI does not guarantee admission to student groups of 10 or more without reservations.

Scholarships

Scholarships for waived program & admission fees are available for schools with 40% or more of the student population eligible for the Free and Reduced Lunch program. A scholarship application form must be completed prior to the museum visit.

Program Choices

Discovering Seattle Stories (Grades K - 2)

Students are the storytellers using primary sources to explore Seattle's past. Students are introduced to working with artifacts through observation in small groups. Artifacts are then shared with the class while telling a story of Seattle's history.
