Making a reservation
Complete a booking form to request a reservation for an in-person or virtual visit. We’re unable to process reservations by phone, fax, or mail.
Reservations are processed in the order we receive them. Within two weeks of submitting your reservation request, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the date and time of your visit, or alternate dates if we are unable to accommodate your original request. Your reservation isn’t complete until you receive a confirmation email from us with an invoice that includes the time and date of your visit.
Cancellations and rescheduling
If you need to cancel your visit, contact us as soon as possible at youth.tours@brooklynmuseum.org.
On rare occasions, we may have to cancel gallery visits due to illness or other circumstances beyond our control. If this occurs, we’ll notify you as far in advance as possible. If we cancel your reservation, then we will do our best to reschedule your visit. If we are unable to reschedule, we’ll provide a full refund.
Payment
Payment is made either in advance or upon your arrival at the Museum on the day of your visit. As soon as you arrive, check in at the Admissions Desk, located in our lobby. Payments can be made by credit card, check, or purchase order. To pay by purchase order, email youth.tours@brooklynmuseum.org with the order along with a class roster and your reservation number.

For in-person visits, elementary and middle school classes must have one chaperone for every ten students. High school classes must have one chaperone for every fifteen students. The visit fee covers up to thirty students and five chaperones. If there are additional chaperones, we ask them to contribute suggested admission rates.

Late arrivals
Please arrive for or log into your session on time! Classes that arrive late may receive a shortened lesson. If your group arrives more than 30 minutes late for in-person visits or 15+ minutes late for virtual visits, your lesson may be canceled because of scheduling limitations. Classes will not begin earlier than the scheduled start time. If you’re running late, email youth.tours@brooklynmuseum.org as well as the educator who contacted you prior to your lesson.
