Embark with us on a journey into the fascinating world of rocks and minerals!
This well-curated tour is designed to provide a fun and educational introduction to the world of rocks and minerals and the Rice Museum. Walking through our galleries you'll admire the stunning beauty of nature's artwork while learning about the geological processes that create them. In addition, you'll hear about the couple that spent a lifetime collecting these wonders, and then turned their collection and home into a museum. Afterwards enjoy the displays at your own pace, have a picnic outside, or walk one of our nature trails.
It's the perfect tour for science enthusiasts, rockhounds, or anyone who has driven past us on highway 26 and wondered what that mid-century modern home was in the middle of the farmland!
Advanced registration is required. This is a mixed group (families) tour with up to 20 attendees. Recommended for first grade and older. Please make sure to register all people in your party, including children. If you are unable to make it, please cancel your reservation so that others may book.
