To book a field trip, please complete our Field Trip Reservation Form and allow up to two full weeks for processing. Forms submitted for visits within the two week window will not be considered. If you are interested in booking multiple visits, please submit one form for each visit. All requests for visits submitted with less than two weeks notice will not be eligible for a scholarship, so the daily admission rate of $9.00 per student will apply.
Please read the Field Trip Reservation Request Form's instructions prior to booking a field trip.
