FACILITATED FIELD TRIPS

Field trips are offered March – May and September – November.

During a facilitated field trip, your elementary class will experience a “hands-on” field trip led by a Museum educator.  It’s the perfect way to kick off or culminate a themed unit in your classroom!

Field trips are approximately two, to two and a half hours long.  Each field trip offers an exclusive lesson with a hands-on activity, and a private educational tour.
