School programs offered at the Morro Bay Museum of Natural History are led by State Park Interpreters and reflect current school standards, including NGSS, CCSS, and environmental literacy curriculum. Rotations include an exploration of Windy Cove beach, a short hike to the top of White’s Point, and a special Virtual Reality experience with a behind-the-scenes look at a museum collection. After the program, groups are invited to enjoy a self-guided exploration of the museum at their own pace. Most groups spend about 20–30 minutes.
