Elementary school tours are a staple and a daily activity at art museums everywhere.
At $15-25 entry to these places, I'm not keen to taking my kids in for a half-hour visit. Part of the limiting factor is our 18-month old. But my 4 and 7 yr olds are both very bright and interested in things, but they're also normal--in the sense that they like to explore, like to touch, etc. Traditional museums aren't real keen on this.
