America’s Stonehenge rarely closes due to bad weather conditions.

We do have a limited number of umbrellas for your group to use.  Because of the high volume of school groups in the fall, we are unable to reserve rain dates. If you do need to cancel because of the weather, we will work with you to reschedule your trip.

Tour Options
Boom Box Tour: Portable group audio tour using a “Boom Box”. The chaperone will be in charge of the “Boom Box” which will be played out loud so that all students will be listening to the same material at the same time. This tour allows for group discussion of the material presented at each stop. This tour is available for all ages. The material covered may be too in depth for the youngest visitors.  Takes roughly 1 ½ hours for the tour section of your visit.

Chaperone Guided Tour: This tour is chaperone guided (self-guided). We will supply our tour guide map which covers all stops on the tour. This map is meant to be either read aloud or independently by the group.  This tour is available for all ages.  Takes roughly 1 hour.

Archaeology Dig
Kid’s Archaeology Dig- Our non-sensitive Dig Pits are available for groups. Students will dig in a grid and use our archaeology tools to excavate various artifacts. An educational and fun hands on activity!
Some of the artifacts students may uncover: arrowheads, polished rocks, fossils, bones, charcoal, pottery, shells and more! Students are allowed to take home any polished stones, arrowheads and stone tools that they find. When students are finished digging, we will discuss the different artifacts that they’ve found and let them take a guess at the purpose of the artifact, the age, the culture that might have used it etc… Students spend approximately 45 minutes in the Dig Pit.
