Field Trips

We want your classroom's visit to the park to be a fun learning experience. Please review these guidelines:

• Reservations: Please call the park at [phone] to schedule or cancel a visit.
• The museum/auditorium has a maximum capacity of 70 people. The interactive map video room has a capacity of 30 people. Remember that you may be sharing this area with other visitors.
• On the day of your visit, please remember to allow ample time (including restroom visits) to be able to arrive at the park and begin the program on schedule. If you are late, your group may be inconvenienced since there may be other groups scheduled during the day. They will be taken first if you are not punctual.
• For us to serve you better, please try to limit the number of people per group to around 60. We request a teacher or chaperone to student ratio of 1:10. The park expects all teachers or chaperones to accompany the group at all times. Please plan about two hours for your visit.
