Tours

Organized groups (ages 5 and up) require advanced reservations. (Individuals and families can just walk-in for free during our regular hours for a self-guided visit, but the collections are off-limits for browsing.) The guided tours include an exploration of the collection (butterflies), the "Oh My!" collection, and our Arthropod Petting Zoo. If you need a more tailored tour, please let us know at the time of booking. Starting July 1, 2012 tours cost $3.00 per person or a minimum of $30.00. (Fees do not apply for standard UCD classes and organizations.) Tours are typically 30-60 min.

To start booking a tour call the Bohart at (530) 752-0493 or send us an e-mail under contact us. Include your name, contact information, size of group, and several possible tour dates.

Tour Schedule

We are full for spring 2012, but our taking summer reservations. Be advised that the Bohart Museum can only accomodate a few tour groups per week, and the tour schedule fills up approximately three months in advance of the tour dates.
Because of the size of the museum, we can handle only 15-20 people at once. Large groups will be divided into smaller groups. Group leaders may want to consider visiting other campus sites in conjunction with a Bohart Museum visit. This University Outreach website has additional options.
