School tours

2021 bookings opening soon!

19 April - 17 September 2021

Take your students back in time with innovative and immersive history excursions at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum!

Year one students are invited to make (and eat) real butter, play historic games, dance to 1950s music and experience a 1950s classroom lesson.

Students from year two and above can experience life in the 1890’s as they learn to write with nib pens, explore early modes of transport, do the washing, and explore the significance of Tom Petrie and Yebri house.

These programs are linked directly to the Australian Year One and Two Curriculum and feature the continuity and changes associated with 1950s family structures and daily life. 

So, join us as we dress up and have lots of fun in the past!

School groups are encouraged to combine their visit to the museum with the Redcliffe Convict Trail.

The trail leads you to Redcliffe Museum where you can pop in before or after to learn more about the history of the peninsula. 

Alternatively, take a short stroll along the creek to combine your visit with Redcliffe Art Gallery. 

We also have a portico off to the side of the entrance where groups are welcome to stop for a picnic lunch.
