VIP Tour

Our most interactive and engaging museum experience. Students tour the museum in squadrons (10-15 students). Each student is assigned a role to play (commander, musician, photographer, etc.). Students learn the importance of cooperation and teamwork in the military. Students participate in letter and diary writing activities and other hands-on experiences. The tour last 2.5 hours. Teachers can choose from 4 VIP tour topics: Civil War, WWI, WWII, or Cold War Conflicts - Korea & Vietnam. Teachers pre-assign student roles. The cost of the tour is $6 per student and chaperones are free. Every student on the VIP tour receives a personal dog tag, a digital picture of their squadron and an educational packet containing a list of causes and effects, .a timeline, a map and a bio of a commanding officer.
