Field trips
Updated January 2024:
All museum public school and homeschool group tours remain suspended until further notice.
We are only offering self-guided experiences at the moment. If you are interested in bringing a group to the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve for a self-guided tour, please email dvpp@asu.edu for more information.
The field trips are scheduled for 1 hour and 45 minutes and include an interactive tour of the museum, nature preserve, petroglyphs, mesquite bean grinding with manos and metates, and a take-home activity.
Our knowledgeable educators will introduce your students to the following subjects:
- Archaeology
- Native Cultures of Arizona
- Rock Art
- Desert Ecology
Home school groups
Home school programs are available for home-school organizations of 10 or more throughout the year. The home school programs include a guided tour of the museum, nature trail and petroglyphs, and a take-home craft activity.
