The National Maritime Museum of the Gulf is an interactive classroom that is unlike any other. The museum has 8 “decks” featuring interactive exhibits on the history, commerce, geography, and ecology of the Gulf Coast Region. School field trips can be scheduled Wednesday through Friday with some Tuesdays available upon special request. We offer an All-Decks Tour to school groups which includes the entire museum.

For smaller groups of 50 people or fewer, our tour guides can customize the tour to focus on one of the following topics: Commerce of the Gulf, History of the Gulf, Navigation of the Gulf, or Ecology of the Gulf. For more information on school field trips, the museum’s exhibit connections to the Alabama Course of Study, or to request a field trip date, click on the links below.
