TOURS FOR TOTS
Continuing our efforts to introduce little ones ages 3–5 to the wonders of museum learning, this special series of tours examines a different area of the Museum each month. Each program offers a chance to ask questions and explore with a hands-on activity. Tour response has been so enthusiastic that we are offering the same program three times a month.
Space is limited, but pre-registration is not required unless you are a preschool group*. For more information contact us at 406.994.6618.
Tuesday and Thursday tours meet from 10–11am, and Wednesday tours are from 2–3pm; all in the Redstart Classroom. Tours are free for members and $5 for non-members.
