The AMOS classroom can be utilized as a lunch space, if and when it doesn’t conflict with the scheduled itinerary. Lunches (coolers) can be stored in the classroom, prior to lunchtime. AMOS Staff fridge and microwave are not generally available for use-please let a staff member know if you will be needing use of these appliances. Groups using the space are responsible for clean-up after their lunch. (Trash receptacles and bags will be provided by AMOS and all bagged trash will be disposed of by the museum)

Teachers can choose to let students shop in our Museum Store during their visit. Prices start with items at $0.50 (plus tax). Please let us know if you want time for your students to shop in advance so that we can include it in the visit itinerary. Teachers with valid ID receive a 10% discount in our store.

For Outreach programming, a minimum of 5 students/paid program participants are required.

Groups with less than 15 paid participants may opt to pay the difference in order to participate.
