How many chaperones are required for a field trip?

One adult chaperone is required for every five children. Facilitated field trip groups are limited to a maximum of 15 chaperones, not including teachers.

 
Where can buses drop-off and pick-up my group?

Buses should pull onto our parking lot via Woodbine Avenue.  A staff member will guide your group to the appropriate drop-off location. Buses will be required to park offsite during the time of your field trip.

May my group explore the museum after their reserved field trip program?

What suggestions can you share regarding planning for lunch?

School groups can bring food to the Museum’s outdoor pavilion, located off the parking lot. These facilities are available on a first come, first served basis. Outside food is not allowed within the Museum or Picnic Basket Café.

May memberships, passes, or coupons be used toward admission for a field trip?

Memberships, passes and coupons are for public hour use only and cannot be used during a reserved field trip program.
