Larger groups of home school families and organizations are welcome to reserve Field Trips following the same guidelines as standard School Field Trips. You do not need a reservation to attend any of our regularly scheduled programs, such as Time Travelers, or for a regular visit anytime we're open!
We do have an annual Homeschool Day in October which does require a reservation. See the description below!
