Group Visits
Information for Teachers and Chaperones
Thank
you for agreeing to help supervise a group visit to the Hull Lifesaving
Museum. Your participation makes a tremendous difference in the
children’s experience at the museum. Let’s work together
to ensure a safe, fun, and engaging visit for everyone involved!
Here are a few guidelines:
- If your group includes more than 25 students
please divide them into groups of 20 or fewer.
- We request a minimum of 1 adult for every 10
children.
- Weather permitting some activities may take
place outdoors. Please dress comfortably and encourage the children
to do the same.
- Restrooms are located just inside the main
entrance.
- The guided tour is entirely on the first floor,
which is fully wheelchair accessible. Please let us know if there
is way we can help make the museum more accessible for your group
(tactile tours, large type labels, and audio components can be
arranged).
- Please be aware that food and beverages are
not available for purchase within walking distance of the museum,
although groups are welcome to picnic on the museum lawn (or in
the play loft in case of rain)
- Ample free parking is available directly across
from the museum.
- Please be aware of fast moving traffic on Nantasket
Avenue, and use the crosswalk as you lead your group to the museum.
