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 (Excludes D51 Charters)

- Field trips are generally booked in two-hour slots.
- Classroom lesson options are not available on Fridays due to student programming.
- The visit may include an interactive 1 hour classroom lab activity and 1 hour of exploration in our hands-on exhibit hall.
