Group Visits

Group visits to the Whipple Museum 

We welcome group visits to the museum. Due to our small size, groups of more than 10 people must book at least one week in advance.

The maximum group size per one-hour timeslot is 30 people. If your group is larger, please make two separate bookings or contact us so we can suggest a suitable timetable.

For groups with students under 18, an adult must accompany them at all times. We require a minimum ratio of 1 adult per 20 students in the galleries, and group leaders must remain with their group throughout the visit.

We kindly ask that all groups behave respectfully during their visit so that everyone can enjoy the museum. The museum reserves the right to ask groups to leave if behaviour becomes disruptive.

Book your group visit here. On arrival, please check in with the Visitor Services Assistant at the front desk.
