Kids want to have fun. Grownups want them to learn. Field trips at Chicago Children’s Museum let them do both.
CCM field trips let students put their classroom knowledge to work. Our exhibits and experiences provide hands-on engagement with subjects like math, language, science, and engineering—combined with education-rich, play-filled activities.
