Important Notes About Field Trips
Visitors shold dress for a short trail walk in comfortable walking shoes. In the event of very bad weather, you may wish to reschedule as half of the museum program is outside. Tour groups are split into smaller groups of about 15 students each. 1-2 chaperones per group is suggested.
There is no charge for chaperones.
You are welcome to have a picnic lunch either before or after your program. Ten picnic tables are available for your group.
Gift Shop
We encourage you to visit our small but nifty gift shop. Many earth treasures at @ $1 to $3. Proceeds support our exhibits and programs. If you wish to shop, please allow a few extra minutes after your program, or during your picnic lunch.
