Field Trips

Field Trips can either be at the museum, virtual, or we can come to your classroom to lead a lesson!

In-Person Field Trips to EUREKA!

District 51 Schools*: Free of Charge
Non-District 51 groups: $6 student admission OR $9 student admission + classroom activity (Group minimum of 11 students)

• Field trips are generally booked in two-hour slots.
