Experience our three most popular programs suitable for large groups and mixed ages: Live Animal Experience, Planetarium, and Discovery House.

This field trip is designed for preschoolers. Students will take a trip to space in our Planetarium and explore our most interactive area – The Discovery House. This is a three-floor section that includes our mini-zoo where students will experience a live animal encounter with one of our zoo keepers. *This field trip runs from 10:00-11:30 with the option to stay for lunch afterwards.

This field trip option aims to provide students with learning and/or physical disabilities unique and inclusive programming designed to educate students with tactile-focused experiences. Learn about different species in an animal experience using pelts, feathers, and textures of animals. Explore the moon with a cratoring activity, and experience an environmental science program on animal tracks and leaf identification.    

This field trip option is great for homeschool groups or mixed ages looking to explore the Museum at their own pace. Your group will be provided with our self-tour guide to enhance your experience. *This field trip option can occur anytime during Museum hours (10-5), however, we do recommend arriving before 3pm to allow for at least 2 hours of exploration.
