The Museum has reserved different days especially for homeschool families to experience their very own field trip! With these days families will have the opportunity to participate in a “choose your own adventure” style field trip that includes program opportunities and all-day admission to the museum. Choose from a variety of themed programs that best fit your families’ educational goals.

During this field trip families will learn about the world sitting right in their backyards. From animals, to nature, and the sky above, there are so many fascinating features to explore!

Field Trips are $9 a child with 1 free adult per family. At least 1 parent or guardian must be present in all shows and programs. Additional parents/adults are $10 each. Reservations are required via Eventbrite here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/688531505267?aff=oddtdtcreator

Children 5 and up can participate. Home School Co-Ops of more than 10 are asked to book their own field trip separately. Seating is limited for certain programs and will be first come first serve. You will receive a bracelet to enter the homeschool day programs.

Create your own experience from several program choices. Spots are first come, first serve. Check-in begins at 9:45 in the Museum lobby. Once checked-in you will receive a bracelet indicating your admission to all programs for the day.
