Chaperone Information
Congratulations! You are a group leader for a Franklin Institute field trip. Be sure you share this information with all chaperones in your group. To ensure a safe and pleasurable visit, please have your group observe the following policies.
1. Review all information on your confirmation. Pay special attention to date, showtimes, prices, and number of people on confirmation. Call 1.800.285.0684 with any corrections.
2. The minimum chaperone to student ratio is one chaperone per ten children. Groups that do not have enough chaperones will not be admitted to The Franklin Institute.
3. Chaperones must be at least 21 years of age (for high school groups and younger).
4. Chaperones are required to stay with students at all times.
5. At least ONE adult must be designated as a lunchroom coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for having lunches in boxes with the name of the school printed clearly on the container(s). The coordinator is also responsible for storing lunches in a designated area, seating the group in the proper space and leaving the lunchroom at the designated time. Attention Weekend and Summer Groups: Lunchrooms during these times are self-service and times are not reserved.
6. Group exhibiting disruptive behavior will be asked to leave without refunds.
7. Students are not allowed inside the SciStore any other gift shop area without chaperones. Allow ample time for students to shop that does not conflict with scheduled programs, lunchtimes, and/or departure time.
