We are entirely self supported so we have long charged for school groups to 
visit the ship. Like other sites, it's a discounted rate and one adult gets in free 
for every 10 students. We have large classes, even grades, visit the ship on 
field trips in the spring. We don't have guided tours, so they just visit the ship 
like anyone else. 

We started to offer hands-on interactive program for school groups and had to 
limit the size to 25 or so per group. We did that for a few years and now we 
have started charging for the education program. Teachers sure seem to 
understand! We set a flat fee of $50 per program, which lasts about 30-45 
minutes and the kids get a take-home project. We limit each group to 29 
students.
