We welcome 1:1 student aides. When registering for your visit online, please register them as teachers/chaperones. However, we do not count 1:1 student aides toward the minimum chaperone count (ratio of 1:10 chaperones per student). This allows 1:1 student aides to focus their attention on the student in their care while another adult is present and responsible for the conduct of the rest of the group.
Bus reimbursement is available to all groups, regardless of visit type. You will receive a bus reimbursement form within two weeks of your visit if you indicated interest during registration. Reimbursement is available up to $600 per bus.
You must arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time. This allows ample time for parking, check-in, greetings, and instructions. Arriving too early hinders our staff’s ability to serve you properly.
Please depart before 4:45 p.m.
You must be present and bring at least one adult chaperone for every 10 students attending the program. All chaperones are expected to follow the School Group Code of Conduct and are responsible for ensuring their student group remains safe and behaves in a respectful manner toward Huntington staff, volunteers and the collections. Please note that 1:1 student aides are not counted as chaperones. They are counted separately from the student to adult ratios.
Following the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health guidance, mask-wearing is optional for everyone, regardless of vaccination status.
