School Groups

We offer tours which can be booked by teachers and other community groups. These tours highlight the museum’s most popular exhibits and displays to give visitors a unique approach to learning. Explore a variety of marine subjects including the Halifax Explosion, Halifax’s Connection to the Titanic, and exploring  Mi'kma'ki, Treaty Education, and Mi’kmaw community with Ta'n me'j Tel-keknuo'ltiek: How Unique We Still Are.

Guided Tours

A guided visit is a good option for groups who are interested in a more engaged museum experience and wish to learn about the museum’s most popular stories in greater depth. Groups who wish to explore the museum at their own pace are encouraged to book a self-guided visit. Guided tours are subject to availability and have an additional cost.

Tour Guide Services - $24.30 per guided tour for a maximum of 25 people per guide. Tours must be booked in advance. Maximum of two tours per group based on availability.

Some school groups may choose to book a self guided tour and use one of our scavenger hunts as a means of introducing their students to the museum's collections. The scavenger hunts are designed for specific grades and can be emailed in advance for the teacher's review. We provide an answer key and can supply clipboards and pencils for students upon request. When these groups arrive, museum staff provide a brief overview of the museum galleries and rules before distributing the scavenger hunts.

Please Note: Indoor Snack/Lunch Area- Not available

If you wish to eat outdoors, there are picnic tables available under a covered courtyard area. There are also other outdoor seating options located nearby on the waterfront.
