Resources for Meteorite Education
Meteorite Display
Visit our meteorite museum located on ASU's Tempe Campus in the Bateman Physical Sciences Center C-wing, room 139. The display is open Mon-Fri from 9am-5pm. See the ASU map for building locations and Parking and Transit Services for visitor parking information.
To arrange a guided museum tour for school groups or other small groups, please contact us at least two weeks prior to your desired visit to discuss guide availability. Due to the small size of our musuem, groups must be limited to no more than 15-20 people at a time. If you need to split up a large group among several different activities, we recommend you visit the ASU Museums website, which lists many additional activities and museums on ASU's campus that may be of interest to your group during your visit.
Teacher's Guides and Activities
We are dedicated to helping educators meet national and state education standards. Please contact us for information on how our exhibits and outreach activities can fulfill your needs. In addition, we are happy to work with educators to develop activities to fit specific standards.
