We're planning on offering some children's activities this summer and I was 
wondering what other museums charge for similar activities. We're a small 
historic house museum, so these will not be on a particularly grand scale, 
and will likely last 1-2 hours each. The activities will be in a 2 week 
rotation, with the first week consisting of a scavenger hunt, a portrait 
painting workshop, an open fire cooking workshop + lunch, and an 18th 
century herb garden + planting workshop, and the second week consisting of a 
"behind the scenes" museum tour, a pottery making workshop, an outdoor games 
+ kite making workshop, and a candle dipping workshop.

My Board thinks $20 per activity ($75 for a package of 4) is a fair price, 
but I say this is steep for what's being offered. What is a good price 
point, in your experience?

Many thanks,
Kirsten
