38GENERAL INFORMATION
Visiting Dates and Times
Guided programs are available Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for all school groups.
Guided programs are available on Tuesdays for groups of 100 students or more.
Programs begin at 9:30 am, 11:15 am, and 12:30 pm for elementary, middle, and high
school programs/students.
Early childhood tours (grades Pre-K–2) begin at 10 am, 11 am, and noon.
Group Size
Most programs can accommodate 25–50 students, unless otherwise noted. The Museum
requests that groups have one adult chaperone for every 15 students, but no more
than one adult for every 10 students.
Educational Content
All programs led by professional Museum educators address the core curriculum content
standards established by the New Jersey Department of Education and the National
Common Core. Each program is designed to be age appropriate and uses
inquiry/discussion to actively engage schoolchildren in object-based learning. Standards
addressed for each program can be found on page 28.
Arrival Time
Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled tour. Please do not arrive earlier since
there is no group waiting area, and groups are not allowed to tour the galleries without a
guide. Please be punctual, as it is not possible to make up lost time with late-arriving
groups.
Lunch
Schools must schedule a time in the Museum’s lunchroom if they plan to eat on-site.
Otherwise, please bring lunches, since there are no facilities for buying them. Lunches
brought in will be collected by Museum staff and delivered to the lunchroom for you.
Self-Guided Tours
Schools are also welcome for self-guided visits each Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday,
from 12:30–5 pm. Pre-registration and Museum admission fees are required for
school groups visiting for self-guided touring only.
Buses/parking
Drop-off for groups is at the front of the South Wing entrance. Attended on-site parking
is available in the adjacent Museum parking lot for vans and cars only, with entrances
located at Washington St. and Central Ave. Parking fees ($7/car or $15/van, subject to
change) must be paid in cash directly to the parking lot attendant. Checks and credits
cards are not accepted. Please do not include parking fee in your payment to the
Museum.
Homeschool Groups
The Newark Museum offers a variety of resources and programs that can enrich home-
based learning. All curriculum-based school programs can be scheduled for groups of
