Field Trips
The Center for Science Teaching & Learning (CSTL) offers 6 different field trip programs. You can choose just one program, or combine multiple and make a whole day of fun-filled science! Each program lasts about an hour and can be tailored to any age group. Our programs each have a 20-person minimum. If there is a specific area of study you’d like us to focus on, please let us know!

Dinosaur Museum Tour
$11 per person, 2 teachers admitted free per trip
Our dinosaur museum contains animatronic dinosaurs, skeletal dinosaurs and over 30 live animals. The theme of the museum is adaptation, and by showcasing live animals next to extinct dinosaurs, students really start to understand why certain features seen in animals help them survive in their habitats.

In this program, students learn about animal adaptations and lifestyles in the best way possible – by meeting some live animals face-to-face!
