Field Trip Options

Self Guided Field Trips

Bring your group to CDM to explore all three floors of exhibits at your own pace. On arrival, every group receives a brief orientation by a Museum staff person. Recommended visit time is two hours. We require one adult chaperone for every five kids. Fieldtrip cost is $3 per person, teachers are free.

Learning Lab/Self Exploration Combo

This combo offers groups a more facilitated learning experience in addition to self-exploration of the Museum. Learning labs offer your group an in-depth, hands-on program led by a museum educator based on Museum exhibits and other exciting topics. And there’s still time to explore the Museum on your own!

The combo is $5 per student, $3 per adult, teachers are free. A $15 non-refundable deposit is required for all learning labs. Labs have a limit of 20-25 students at one time. Classes with more than 25 students need to break up into multiple labs.
