Our note
This is a private booking of the lighthouse rather than a museum visit, and it is described as a small building, so the doubled rate above 20 guests will catch a full class. Ask what is actually in the room, and whether there are stairs, before you commit.

What the children do

The lighthouse can be rented for an event at $25 an hour or $150 for a full day. The site calls it a working lighthouse and a smaller space, specialized for kids events but still fun for all ages. For events with more than 20 guests the cost is doubled. No booking route is given on the rental page itself, so the centre's email and phone number apply.

Good to know

The rate is published and booking is by email or phone. Washrooms, kitchen, parking and accessibility are not mentioned anywhere on the site, and the only hint at how many fit is that the price doubles above 20 guests.

Sources disagree. Their pages give two different answers for when the children's programs run. One says weekends in July and August, from 11 to 2. The other says Monday mornings, from 10 to 12. Worth checking when you book.
