Reservations will be accepted two weeks prior to your visit, however, we recommend scheduling your school at least one month in advance. If you need to cancel your visit please let us know at least two days prior to your visit. In the event that a school does not meet that requirement, a bill for the total tour will be sent.

Group Admissions: Children and adults are $2.00 a person for a tour. One adult is required for every ten students. Pueblo City Schools and District 70 have pre-paid the admission fees. Members of the Art Center will be charged the tour rate.

Check in: Your reservation should be made for the maximum number of students and adults expected. Actual attendance will be noted upon arrival, and your fee will be charged accordingly. Tours will check in at the Buell Children’s Museum to begin the tour. Buses can use the roundabout to drop off students and can park in the main parking lot.

Payment: Payment is required at the Buell front desk for the number of people reported in your group. You may pay on the day of the tour or be billed. We accept check, credit card, purchase orders or cash. Please make checks payable to the Buell Children’s Museum.
