Self-Guided Visit Registration
Are you ready to explore the High Desert Museum? Plan a field trip or register for a self-guided visit and get ready to imagine, excite and experience all the Museum has to offer. From the environment to history and cultures, to nature and wildlife, a Museum visit will inspire students and educators alike to protect and admire the High Desert landscape.
We are continuing to offer Self-Guided visits for education groups in which you explore the Museum independently. Book your visit in advance using our Educational Visit form below.
If you are interested in Discovery Classes, please view the Class Descriptions page. We do our best to respond to registrations quickly. However, due to the high number of registrations, you will hear from us within two weeks of the registration submission date. Self-guided visit registrations must be submitted at least two weeks in advance of the requested visit dates.
Please complete and submit the form below to register your group with the High Desert Museum. And, please review our Guide for Chaperones page.
Self-guided visits may only take place when the High Desert Museum is open to the public.
For questions, Email classes@highdesertmuseum.org or call 541-382-4754 ext. 320.
Field Trip Costs
Field trip costs are charged based on a sliding scale. Utilizing Oregon Department of Education’s Community Eligibility Provision guidelines, pricing per student or chaperone will be determined by your school’s overall percentage of identified students eligible for the program (ISP). Chaperones within the ratio of 1 adult per 5 students is free, and additional chaperones above this ratio will cost extra. Teachers and support staff visit free.
