YOU ASKED FOR IT...

Enjoy the Museum as a Package or à la carte!

Structure your field trip to support your curriculum and your students’ learning style. You can reserve a general museum visit with an IMAX or Fels Planetarium show, or you can book one of our popular, comprehensive Experiential Packages.

What are the benefits of the Experiential Packages? Our Experiential Packages offer a unique, in-depth study experience for school groups by focusing on a single topic across all platforms, providing hands-on, auditory and visual reinforcement. Each package offers a featured exhibit that is coordinated with a hands-on workshop, a live science show with audience participation, and a thematically-related IMAX or planetarium show. Workshops are offered on three levels—grades 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12—and instructors try to further tailor the presentation when possible. Most packages take approximately four hours, and include admission to all permanent exhibits and free daily demonstrations.
