Field Trip Basics

• School sanctioned scheduled field trips are free of charge for both students and chaperones.

• Field trips are geared for 4^th- 12^th grades.  Lower grades are encouraged to visit the park grounds, gardens, tank park, hiking trail and picnic area, but will not be permitted into the
  museums.  Please check this website throughout the year, as PreK-3^rd nature based field trip programs are being created.

• Reservations are required and are available every day excluding Monday.  The park is closed the entire month of January and opens Friday-Sunday in February.

• Field trips are scheduled to visit both the Robert R. McCormick Museum and the First Division Museum in order to keep the group sizes manageable and to enhance the student’s experience.  If you wish to only visit one museum, please indicate which during your registration.

• Field trips are available in four time blocks per day.  Please choose from the following: 

A 9:30 - 12:00   B 10:00 - 12:30   C 11:30 - 2:00   D 12:00 - 2:30

These times include arrival, orientation, visits to both museums and walking time.  Please come early or stay late if your group wishes to explore the tank park and gardens or to eat lunch.

• A maximum of 90 students may be scheduled per time block.  If your group exceeds 90 students, you must reserve two back-to-back time blocks or split your group into two days.  One chaperone is required for every 10 students.
