Book an MCASD Tour Experience

MCASD Tour Request Procedures

All MCASD Tour experiences must be booked in advance by submitting a completed MCASD Tour Request Form (scroll down). Tours are not guaranteed until confirmed by the Education Department. Confirmations are sent via email.

All tours must be scheduled at least 3 weeks in advance and any applicable fees must be paid in full a minimum of one-week prior to the tour/workshop.

MCASD Transit Scholarship

Transit Scholarship Form

MCASD provides limited, needs-based Transit Scholarships of up to 2/3 of the cost of the trip or up to $200 (whichever comes first) for Title I San Diego Unified and San Diego County public and charter schools that visit MCASD for a Look/Explore Tour or ArtLab Workshop, and Extended School Partnerships. Scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and can be used towards bus or trolley expenses. Schools must complete an MCASD Transit Scholarship application when submitting a tour request form to be considered. MCASD highly advises any school seeking travel reimbursement to book a tour a minimum of one-month in advance.

MCASD Transit Scholarships are made possible by the Museum's partnership with ArtsBusXpress. ArtsBusXpress underwrites field trip transportation, the "missing link," that connects San Diego city and county school children with arts and sciences experiences.

If further assistance is needed, please contact Education with your inquiry at education@mcasd.org
