Teachers and Students
The historic Mission structures and extensive grounds tell of our nation’s frontier past and the proud heritage that helped to form California.
- Our museum displays original art and artifacts that bring alive the Mission Era for students and parents alike.
- In addition, your students can observe an active Mission – San Luis Rey is still home to Franciscan Friars and continues to serve the community as a historical, educational, and religious center.
Book a Field Trip
Our California mission 4th-grade studies program includes a docent-led presentation to your class(es), followed by touring the museum and grounds at your own pace. Picnic grounds with tables are available for lunch before heading back to the classroom. Please plan a total of 3 hours for your visit. The 4th-grade group rate applies to everyone in your party. Once your field trip is confirmed, you will receive a packet of information with educational tools. To request your date of choice click here. Please book your tour at least 6 weeks in advance.
