FAQs
Do I have to register and pay in advance?
Yes. Our capacity is severely limited due to the small spaces in the museum. This means that many of our programs fill up months in advance, so in order to reserve your space, advance registration and payment is required. This is true whether you are registering for a program in one month or or 3 months from now.
How much does it cost?
$14 per student and $5 per adult. Siblings may attend for free, however, if they wish to participate in the activities and take-home components of the program they need to be registered as a Student . Space is limited. Advanced registration is required. If cost is an issue, please email education@mollybrown.org and we can discuss available options.
If we can’t come, are registrations refundable?
We typically do not offer refunds for program registrations. If your plans change and you can no longer make it, as long as you let us know two-weeks or more before the date of the program, we can generally transfer your registration to another program or event, provided there is space. You would still be responsible for any difference in cost, if one exists. If you let us know less than two weeks out, there are no refunds or transfers.
How many adults can attend?
Due to our limited space, registration is limited to 2 adults per family group. All adults are expected to remain with their students at the stations and assist in the program as needed.
Can younger siblings attend?
Siblings may attend for free, however, if they wish to participate in the activities and take-home components of the program they need to be registered as a student participant.

If you would like to be with another family, let us know after you register by emailing education@mollybrown.org.
What ages are your programs recommended for?

Will my group get a tour of the museum?
Each of our homeschool day programs has a different theme. In each program, you will learn a little bit about the Browns and Victorian life in Colorado. You will not get a full tour of the museum during a homeschool day program, however, activities take place in rooms throughout the house so you will get to see different parts of the house. Adults are expected to stay with their students to support the learning activities.
