Education is at the heart of The Magic House’s mission! The Museum offers a variety of field trips where kids can engage in hands-on exploration. Our field trip programs help students develop critical thinking skills, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and social skills through play-based learning.

Each program is adapted to the students’ grade level and aligns with the Grade Level Expectations outlined by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (GLEs); and the Missouri Early Learning Standards (MELs), as noted in program descriptions.

Our content-rich guided field trip programs include private exploration of a designated area of the Museum with the option to stay and enjoy free play throughout The Magic House until 12:00 pm.

Make sure to check out our new experiences when you stay and play this year like Hero Quest, Argentina’s Niños and Take Care with Peanuts: The Exhibit! Click here for more details.

The Magic House has outdoor picnic areas and lunch can be preordered at the Picnic Basket Café. Plus, check out our Museum Shop to take a piece of the magic home with you!
