Important Update on Pricing: Due to uncertainty surrounding IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services) funding and enhancements to our field trip program, we’ve made adjustments to our field trip pricing. These changes will enable us to continue offering impactful educational experiences for you while also maintaining our exceptional staff and ensuring the operation of our facilities.
