1. How far in advance should I book a field trip?

Field Trip Requests are accepted for the current school year beginning in August. Our calendar fills very quickly so we recommend send your request as early as possible. We also recommend making transportation recommendations with your school district or a bus company as soon as you have your trip with us scheduled.

2. Can any group visit your facility?

Yes! We offer tours and field trip programs to groups of all ages and types, including schools, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, community and home school groups. Call us to schedule your program or visit our Schedule a Field Trip page to learn more. Field trip programs are free and open to all groups. Transportation to our programs is free for up to $400 per bus per day for the schools that are within our service area.

3. Can our whole grade come for a field trip?

Yes. You are not limited to a certain number of field trips per grade or school. Due to space limitations, we limit the number of students to 70 per day. If you have more students, we will schedule two or more days so everyone can come visit.

4. Can we eat lunch at your facility after our field trip?

Yes! Your group is welcome to eat at our facility before heading back to school. We have a wonderful park where you are welcome to spread out and take advantage of the picnic tables or grass. You may also enjoy the garden; the amphitheater is a nice space if you need some shade.

5. How many parents are allowed to join on the field trip?

Parents are welcome and encouraged, as long as they are actively engaged in the activities and helping with the students during the trip. We recommend at least two (2) parents per class and no more than three (6) parents per class. We reserve the right to decline parents in excess of six per class.

6. How much do field trip programs and tours cost?

All field trip programs and tours are free. We also provide transportation cost reimbursement for schools within our service area of up to $400 per bus per day.
