Free Guided Tours at Rice Museum of Rocks & Minerals

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. *Advanced registration is required.*
