Field Trips
Choose just one program or combine multiple. Large Groups should select more than 1 to allow for group separation (ex. Exhibit paired with Nature Hike). Each program lasts about an hour and can be tailored to any age group. There is a 20-person minimum. If there is specific vocabulary or content you’d like us to include in your trip, let us know.

Dinosaur Museum Tour
