Homeschool Day Details and Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register?
After reading this FAQ section, click on the event and time you would like to register for. You should be taken to a registration page. Payment is due at the time of registration. If there are no spaces available, that time will no longer display as an option. So, for example, if you want to register for a 9:30 session but only see 11:30 available that means that is the only available session. Please email education@mollybrown.org with any registration problems.

Do I have to register and pay in advance?
Yes. Our capacity is severely limited due to the small spaces in the museum. This means that many of our programs fill up months in advance, so in order to reserve your space, advance registration and payment is required. This is true whether you are registering for a program in one month or or 3 months from now.

Why can’t I register for any programs past May?
Due to changing family schedules, we find it beneficial to wait to open fall registration until closer to those programs. We will open up registration for fall programs in late May.

How much does it cost?
$14 per student and $5 per adult. Siblings may attend for free, however, if they wish to participate in the activities and take-home components of the program they need to be registered as a Student. Space is limited. Advanced registration is required. If cost is an issue, please email education@mollybrown.org and we can discuss available options.

If we can’t come, are registrations refundable?
We typically do not offer refunds for program registrations.  If your plans change and you can no longer make it, as long as you let us know two-weeks or more before the date of the program, we can generally transfer your registration to another program or event, provided there is space. You would still be responsible for any difference in cost, if one exists. If you let us know less than two weeks out, there are no refunds or transfers.

How many adults can attend?
Due to our limited space, registration is limited to 2 adults per family group. All adults are expected to remain with their students at the stations and assist in the program as needed.

Can younger siblings attend?
Siblings may attend for free, however, if they wish to participate in the activities and take-home components of the program they need to be registered as a student participant.

Will my friends and I be able to attend together?
If you would like to be with another family, it’s easiest if you register together. However, if that doesn’t work, let us know after you register by emailing education@mollybrown.org.

When do programs take place?
Unless otherwise noted, 2024 Homeschool Days take place from 9:30-11:30 and 11:30-1:30 on the days listed above.

What ages are your programs recommended for?
Our programs are recommended for ages 6+.

Will my group get a tour of the museum?
Each of our homeschool day programs has a different theme. In each program, you will learn a little bit about the Browns and Victorian life in Colorado. You will not get a full tour of the museum during a homeschool day program, however, activities take place in rooms throughout the house so you will get to see different parts of the house. If you would like a tour of the museum, please consider coming to one of our homeschool cream teas.

Are masks required?
No, at this point masks are no longer required.  Visitors and staff are encouraged to wear them, especially if unvaccinated.
