We are willing to prepare special crafts to fit into a special unit you are teaching. Please give us a minimum of 1 week notice for special accommodations.
We require a ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children. Most teachers recruit parents to help supervise the field trip.
Preschools: We recommend that you choose to have parents pick up and drop off at the museum. For example, if your class is from 8:30 - 11:00, you could spend the whole time at the museum. That way, you won't have to worry about your students' car seats.
Please call ahead to reserve the day you would like for your field trip,
