Free Unguided Experience

Discover the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals in a whole new way with our free unguided experiences! Up to 20 participants can explore the museum’s world-class collection-including dazzling minerals, gemstones, fossils, meteorites, and petrified wood - at their own pace..

This flexible format lets you immerse yourself in the exhibits that spark your curiosity, without the constraints of a guided tour. Enjoy the freedom to wander through the unique galleries housed in a historic mid-century modern home, taking time to appreciate every detail on your own schedule. Perfect for those who value independent exploration, have young children, or want a more personalized experience. These unguided visits offer a fresh way to connect with the wonders of Earth’s natural history.

Advanced registration is required. Your ticket(s) are ONLY valid for the day designated, between the hours of 10am-5pm. 20 participants maximum. If you are unable to make it, please cancel your reservation so that others may book.

Thank you to our generous donors who made this possible!
