Bus Drop Off

• Conventional (standard-sized) Buses: Groups may be dropped off in the S St./U St. loop. The group will walk between Hawks Hall and the Kauffman Center and cross 14th St. before arriving at the museum. Drive north or south on 16th Street, turn onto S Street, turn right onto 15th Street, and drop students off at the corner of 15th and U. 
• Shorter Buses and Vans: Drive south down 14th Street to drop students off and use the circle to turn around.
• Groups may also be dropped off at either of the StarTran bus stops on Vine St. Groups will then walk down Vine St. before turning south on 14th St. to arrive at the museum.

Please DO NOT drop off in the A or F3/D1 lots to the north of the museum (marked by yellow stars on the map). This is faculty and staff parking. Buses block traffic in these areas and UNL Parking and Transit Services reserves the right to fine your group if you park, drop off, or pick up in these areas. 

Bus Parking

Park in "Lot 56" north of the Devaney Center at the intersection of Antelope Valley Parkway North and Military Road. Drivers may walk to the Hendricks Training Comlex Lobby on the southwest corner of the Devaney Center (1600 Court St). The lobby opens at 8am and has seating, restrooms, and television. 

Before Your Arrival

• Double-check with your trip's organizer to confirm whether chaperones will be paying as part of the group or paying separately. 
  • Only those paying with the group will receive the discounted group rate. 
  • Chaperones paying separately must pay full price at the door; this is $13.00 for admission and $6.00 for a planetarium show, plus tax. Adult chaperones are not charged for gallery programs. 
• Ensure that you are aware of your group's schedule for the day. Punctuality for gallery programs and planetarium shows is expected.

Group Etiquette and Supervision
Please be respectful of our exhibits, staff, and other visitors while visiting the Museum (e.g. no climbing on exhibits, keep voices to a reasonable volume, etc.). Children should be supervised at all times.

Parking and Arrival Information

• Chaperones driving separately will need to park in the 14th & Avery Parking Garage or the Stadium Drive Parking Garage. There are also metered parking spots in various places around campus. A limited number of museum parking spaces are available north (metered) and east of Morrill Hall, indicated by Museum Parking signs. 
  • If you park in a museum spot, your must provide your license plate number to the front desk for entry into the system to avoid being ticketed by UNL Parking Services. 
• Please DO NOT park in the A or F3/D1 parking lots to the north of Morrill Hall. This is faculty and staff parking only and you will be ticketed. 
• Accessible parking is available on the east side of the building. You may access the building through the east door. 
• When you arrive, please check in at the front desk. Let them know you are with a group and purchase admission if you are paying separately. You will be able to wait in the lobby area until your group arrives. 

Planetarium Policy
A planetarium program or show is an add-on to the museum experience. Museum admission is required for planetarium access. Mueller Planetarium has a maximum capacity of 59 people due to State Fire Marshal regulations. Each person must be seated for the duration of the show. There are no exceptions; this is a safety hazard policy.

Field Trip Program Policy
Our educator-led field trip programs are educational experiences for students led by our Museum Education Team. In order for students to have the best possible experience, we ask that any adults present take an observational, rather than a participatory, role. Please demonstrate good behavior for the students by listening quietly to the Educator. Because adults do not have a direct participating role in gallery programs, we do not charge a fee for any adults in attendance.

Food and drinks other than water are NOT allowed in the museum. Food purchased from the Curious Curator Cafe may be eaten in the cafe space only.
*There is NOT sufficient space in the cafe for entire groups to eat lunch at the same time. The space is reserved for cafe paying patrons. 

A limited number of picnic tables are available to the north of the museum. UNL's campus also has green spaces south of the museum. The Nebraska Union (just south of Morrill Hall) has a food court if your group plans to purchase lunch, and seating is available if you brought sack lunches. 

• Unsupervised children are not allowed in the Discovery Gift Shop or Curious Curator Cafe. Please ensure that an adult is present with the group at all times. 
• Please instruct students that they are not allowed to handle merchandise unless they are planning on purchasing the items. 
• The Curious Curator Cafe inside the Discovery Gift Shop sells food and drinks. The Discovery Gift Shop also offers some food and candy options. Please let students know that food and drink are NOT allowed in the museum. Please ensure they consume any purchased food within the cafe area or wait until they exit the muse
