The maximum number of people allowed in the classrooms cannot be exceeded. Please ask the Education Department about maximum classroom capacity when making a reservation. Teachers are responsible for making sure this number is not exceeded on the day of your scheduled visit. Please have a final count of students, teachers, and chaperones upon arrival.
