SPARK CREATIVITY THIS SUMMER AT GROUNDS FOR SCULPTURE

This summer, spark your PK-12 youth group’s curiosity and creativity at Grounds For Sculpture (GFS), a 42-acre sculpture park in Hamilton, New Jersey. Explore our art-filled gardens, which boast over 300 sculptures and thousands of trees and plants, either on a self-guided tour or one hosted by a trained guide. Then, participate in a hands-on workshop led by a museum educator. A day trip to GFS offers the perfect opportunity for joy, learning, and discovery—and the 10,000+ students that visit each year agree!

TOURS

GFS has self-guided and guided tours. During a self-guided tour, take advantage of our free online resources: partake in a fun-filled Sculpture Hunt, or discover the park with an Explorer’s Guide with an art, horticulture or wellness theme.

Guided tours are available for youth who are in grades 4-12 and number 50 students or less. Trained guides cover a select number of sculptures, and there are 3 tour types. Tours cost an additional $5 per student and must be booked 6 weeks in advance.

HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS

Encourage experimentation with a hands-on workshop! Our workshops are for students in grades 3-12 and are led by experienced museum educators. These interactive sessions include creating with clay and a selfie-sculpture challenge and are available for an additional fee.

BOOK YOUR VISIT TODAY

The cost per student is only $10. A $50 deposit is required when booking. Visits must be booked at least 2 weeks in advance and are available every 15 minutes starting at 10AM. Unopened bagged lunches are permitted.
