Reservations are not firm until you receive written confirmation. Program Charges vary depending on program selection.

  • One adult chaperone is required for every ten students. Required chaperones are admitted free; additional chaperones pay the student admission price.
  • Let us know if you would like to visit the Museum Shop, which has a wide selection of items, many priced under $1.
  • Let us know if you wish to eat lunch in our outdoor area. At times, we are also able to accommodate some groups for lunch inside the Museum. There are also several fast food restaurants within a few miles of the Museum.
  • Are you eligible for financial aid? If more than 20% of the students in your school participate in federally funded free or reduced lunch programs, ask about a reduced admission or a bus transportation grant.
  • Our programs are accessible to people of varying abilities. When you call to make your reservation, please let us know if your group needs special assistance.

We address NYS, MA & VT Learning Standards in science, technology and math!
