What stands out
- Own School Groups & Tours page states directly: "We take reservations for group field trips to the museum, including pre-kindergarten and K-12 school groups, special needs organizations, and senior groups... Our tours last approximately 30-45 minutes... We have samples of coal and talk a little about fuel types and what was used during the operation of our 1902 Southern Pacific steam locomotive." (source)
- Run by City of Lomita Parks & Recreation staff (named Recreation Coordinator and Parks and Recreation Director on the Contact page), not an independent nonprofit. (source)
Questions to ask
- Is there any fee for a reserved group tour, or is it free like general admission?
- How far in advance does a homeschool-group reservation need to be made, and is there a maximum group size?
