Group Visits

Between our displays, programs, and instructors, we can tailor your visit to the needs of your class or group.

If your group prefers to visit the Conservatory without scheduling a guided tour, we also offer a free cell phone self-guided audio tour of the collection.
(Your cell phone carrier data rates may apply.)


Groups are encouraged to call ahead for availability:

Contact us to schedule your tour at least 2 weeks prior to your preferred date.

Tours are available during business hours. A standard tour runs between an hour and an hour and a half, depending on questions from the group, etc.

The Friends of the Rawlings Conservatory's Little Leaves

The Little Leaves curriculum is designed to support and supplement the Maryland State Science Standards for the second grade. Students complete Little Leaves with a better understanding of plant life and learn what plants need to survive in different habitats, how to use their senses to observe natural phenomena, and how to visually illustrate their observations through drawing.

School Groups

Our Naturalist Molly Hoopes also leads tours for Home School, Public, and Private school students. To learn more about these unique educational experiences and check for availability, contact Molly directly at:
