Field Trips

All tours are fully booked through December 2024.

The Nashville Parthenon mission is to share about the civilizations that built the Parthenon, both in Athens, Greece, and in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Bring your students on a field trip to the Nashville Parthenon to discover the past and learn together in fun, new ways. From art galleries to an exact replica of an ancient temple, we have a variety of student learning options and resources on topics to fit your curriculum. Give your class a field trip to remember!

All K-12 field trips must be guided by a Parthenon staff member or docent. 

Reserve a date and time for a guided tour at least 30 days before your planned visit with a school group. Schools interested in visiting March-May are encouraged to make reservations as early as possible, as the museum is often completely booked during this season.
