Booking Information

Program Booking Instructions

  • Please use our online bookings form to request a time and date for your program booking. Please note: ALL booking requests must go through this form. Filling out the form is not confirmation of your booking.
  • Our Outreach Coordinator will contact you to confirm your program booking. Due to high volume of incoming requests, responses may require up to five days.
  • Booking requests must be made at least 2 weeks in advance.
  • See the Elementary, Secondary, Post-Secondary, Children, and Adult pages to find descriptions of bookable programs.
  • One class or group per booking; if you require more than one booking please submit a new form for each request.
  • Our program fees cover program delivery, staffing, and materials costs. We can accommodate up to 25 participants at a time for our programs. However, for the most optimal learning experience, we recommend group sizes of 15-20 or smaller (e.g. splitting large groups into two groups). There is no maximum group size for self-led visits.
  • We require groups to have 1 adult per 10 students. Up to 3 adult are covered by the booking fee.
  • On extremely rare occasions, the Pacific Museum of Earth may need to cancel programs due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. staffing issues). In the event of a program cancellation, we will contact the group leader as soon as possible, and offer alternatives if available.
  • Additional fees may apply for special requests.

Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your booking time, so you can visit the washrooms and begin exploring the museum.
