The Museum encourages visits by groups of all kinds, including camps, daycare centers, primary and secondary schools, CEGEPs, after-school groups, language schools, tour buses and special excursion groups.

Advance reservations must be made for all group visits regardless of size. Otherwise, a group runs the risk of being refused entry to the museum.

For more information on how to get to the museum, please visit our Directions page.

Reservations

To submit a request for a group visit, please complete our online Group Reservation Form and receive confirmation for their visits. Groups without a prior confirmed reservation may be refused entry.

Kindly note that group visits are allowed from Tuesdays to Thursdays between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm

What do we offer?

We offer groups a choice of Guided Tours and Non-Guided Tours for all ages.

The Museum can accommodate groups of 50 participants maximum, including accompanying adults. Groups larger than this number will be contacted and offered to select multiple visits on the same or different days.

For Guided Tours, kindly take note of the maximum number of participants for each visit, as specified in each visit's description. You can find these descriptions here.

No advance payment is required prior to your visit. Payment can be done on the day of your visit at our Welcome Desk through credit card (Visa or MasterCard), debit or cash.

If payment is not made on the day of your visit, we will invoice your school/organization in the week following. A separate email will be sent to you or the billing representative you will have designated on your reservation form.

Roles of the Accompanying Adults

Divide the groups into smaller sub-groups as required. For Guided Tours and Science and Culture Labs, this number will be mentioned in your confirmation. 

Follow the group(s) at all times and ensure an adult is present with groups/participants on each floor.

Maintain discipline and manage particular cases.

Know and encourage participants to follow the Museum's Guidelines.
