Party of Ten (or More!)

We offer discounted admission for groups of 10+.
Are you looking to buy tickets for a large family group or corporate outing? You are in the right place. Group rates are available on tickets to the Permanent Exhibits, Butterfly Center, Planetarium, and Giant Screen Theater. Group rates are available for HMNS and HMNS Sugar Land.

Are you looking to book a Field Trip for your students? We offer very low admission rates for schools to keep HMNS as accessible as possible for all students – only available by contacting us through our field trips page. 

To be eligible for discounted group rates, it is important to meet the group criteria set by the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

This includes:

  • Having a minimum of 10 people in the group
  • Making reservations at least two weeks prior to the scheduled visit, and  ensuring that the payment is completed at least 24 hours in advance.
  • By adhering to these requirements, groups can enjoy the benefits of reduced rates and a seamless visit to the museum.

We offer even deeper discounted rates for our corporate partners. Please contact Katie Triantafyllides to learn more.

Check-in

Here are some guidelines for making your group experience at the Museum fun for everyone.

  • If you are running late, please call us at (713) 639-4629.

  • On arrival, the group leader should proceed to the Box Office.
  • Groups must check in at least 30-minutes prior to the first ticketed time. If your group has not done so, another group may be substituted in your place.
  • Due to space limitations, we cannot guarantee that groups which miss their scheduled programs will be placed into another program.
  • All programs start on time and are not delayed for any reason.
  • For your safety, no one will be seated once a program begins.

Member Event: To Tea or Not to Tea? What a Silly Question That is!
While our flowers can’t sing and our butterflies aren’t made of butter, you’re still sure to enjoy this mommy (or daddy!) and me tea and etiquette party. Spend the afternoon sipping tea that will make your mouth water, and enjoy one, two or three sweets so delicious they’ll have you bouncing in your seats. But don’t delay, because as Melodie School of Etiquette Melodie Wade will teach you, it’s not proper to be late for a very important date!

*Permanent Exhibits is included with your ticket purchase
