Scheduling A Field Trip
Ranger Guided Program availability is first-come, first-served. Programs fill quickly. Group size is generally limited to 45 students plus at least 5 adults, but may be fewer on days when ranger staffing or space is limited. Group size is kept small enough for everyone's enjoyment and educational value, usually about 15 students per ranger.
Due to increasing demands for programs, schools will be restricted to one ranger-led program per class per year to allow more children to participate.
Educators are also encouraged to bring students to the park on their own. Please see our self-guided page for information about applying for an academic fee waiver, safety, and tips for visiting the park with school groups.
