Many groups choose to visit the museum. Whether you are a large family, co-workers, social club, summer camp, or activity group, we offer programming to suit your needs. To find out more about booking a group program or tour visit our booking information page where you will find rates, availability and other information.
Museum Tours
Enjoy a private tour of the museum, led by our enthusiastic interpreters. Choose the topic that best suits your interests to learn about the biodiversity in this museum and on the planet.
Children’s Programs
Outside of school, many children are active in different groups, such as summer camps, clubs, and activity groups. We understand that these needs are different than a school group’s needs, and we have programming designed especially for non-school groups.
Currently, the museum does not offer birthday party packages. You and your child are welcome to visit the museum or book a program as part of a birthday celebration, but we cannot offer space for cake, presents, or other activities at this time.

UBC students, faculty, and staff receive free admission to the Beaty Biodiversity Museum with a valid UBCcard. We encourage UBC classes to use the museum as an alternative place of learning.
