The Park City Museum offers tours and fun teaching materials for K-12. School tours are FREE for all Park City, Summit and Wasatch County students. Reservations are required and should be made at least three weeks in advance. Tours last one hour and are geared towards the group’s age and experience.
We require one responsible adult chaperone for each group of ten students.
Teaching materials, including traveling trunks, are currently available for second and eighth grade.
