Amuseum Activities for Groups

Overview

We recommend a visit of 90-120 minutes, with two activities and a break between them. When possible, we prefer one outdoor activity and one in the Amuseum exhibit hall. In case of rain, we can do two activities in the exhibit hall. Activities are all bilingual in English and French.

While supplies last, all students visiting with their class will receive the newly-published Wild Things Activity Book. It has over 100 pages of fascinating info and fun activities about St. Martin’s wildlife. You can learn more and download the book here.

The typical schedule is:

09:00 Introduction/welcome
09:10 First activity
09:50 Break
10:10 Second activity
10:50 Finish

Groups are also welcome to make a shorter visit with one activity.

Our target group size is one class/25 students.

Visitors will need to bring their own drinking water.
