Teachers may lead their students through the galleries without an Illinois Holocaust Museum Docent. A successful learning experience at the Illinois Holocaust Museum requires planning and preparation. Please be sure to review our registration process, tour options, availability, policies, and pricing before registering for your visit.
Docent-led tours receive preference in scheduling tour times and gallery use. The total number of students in the Museum is limited to ensure the best educational experience for everyone. Teacher-led groups must always yield to gallery tours conducted by Museum staff and docents. Here are some things you can do to prepare yourself and your students for a field trip:
- Review Museum rules and expectations for students and chaperones.
- Download a map of the Museum.
- Download starting points for your tour
- Refer to our self-guided tour brochure as you plan your itinerary.
Additional Information
- The Museum is open from 10 am through 5pm. We welcome our last visitors at 4 pm, one hour before closing.
- All In Our Voices field trips are self-guided on Tuesdays, January – May.
