We tell each group that 1 adult for every 10 students
is allowed in for free, and the other adults are
charged a discounted admission (the standard adult
group rate). That usually encourages groups to have
enough adults. We do have a few programs that are a
little more in depth or have a project to go with it,
and we let 1 adult in for every 5 children. Bus
drivers are always allowed in for free.

>>Hello,
>>
>>We are considering adopting a policy that specifies
how many adult

i.e., one adult per x

one being that groups

the tour, another being

alone with a

>>I'd be especially interested in hearing from those
who have tours with

>>
>>What ratio do you use for groups -- 1:5, 1:10, 1:x?
>>How strictly do you enforce your policy? Have you
refused a group for

>>Obviously, this policy would be aimed primarily at
elementary school
