Hello!

We've been looking at how other museums charge for classroom, lab and learning lab programs. Some do individual prices like we do and other do group size pricing.

Example:  Up to 20 students, $100. 20-40 students $150 vs. $5/student.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both...
Advantages to group - easier check in logistics; potential for class revenue matching expense even for small classes; easier for teachers to manage attendance.
Advantages to individual prices- exact student number count is a priority for teachers; easier preparation for classes; attendance calculations can be easily figured out from revenue.

I'd like to hear what other museums have found to work best for them.

Have a good one!
