Call as soon as possible to change a reservation. Reservations are held with a 50% non-refundable deposit. Organizations must cancel within six (6) weeks of the scheduled program to apply the deposit to a different date within the same school year. Rescheduling a program is based on availability. Cancellations made less than six (6) weeks prior to visit will result in forfeiture of 50% deposit. 

The Museum has a maximum field trip capacity of 250 people (this includes students, teachers and all adults). One adult (teachers & caregivers) is required for every 5 students. These required adult chaperones are free. All additional adults must pay chaperone pricing. We require 10 students minimum to qualify for field trip pricing.

The Museum defines a chaperone as any adult (including teachers), 18 years and older attending the field trip. One chaperone is required for every five students. Required chaperones are free at the 1:5 student to chaperone ratio. Chaperones must remain with their students at all times. Group will not be admitted until all required chaperones (1 adult for every 5 children) have arrived. 

Additional adult chaperones MUST be reserved/paid through the school for an admission fee of $15.95 plus tax per person. All adults / chaperones accompanying a school must purchase their tickets through the school. For security purposes, adults with tickets purchased separately via website, will not be admitted. Any additional paid adults must remain within the maximum capacity of 250 total field trip guests.   

There are two rooms available for field trip groups to eat lunch in at a rate of $50 per room. Each room has a limited capacity of 36 people. This incudes:
