Learning Experiences

Field Trip

Self-Guided Field Trip

Self-guided field trips are a great way to extend learning (and fun!) beyond the classroom while allowing students the freedom to explore at their own pace. At the Children’s Museum, we are committed to kid-powered learning and creating meaningful experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and independent discovery.

Our hands-on, interactive exhibits are thoughtfully designed to support 21st Century Skills and engage students in science, the arts, and literacy. During their visit, students may investigate sudsy science in Bubbles, express creativity in The Art Studio, explore the Laws of Motion in Kinetics, or stay active in Joy Park.
