Group Visits and Field Trips

Due to the changing nature of the coronavirus pandemic, Discovery Station will not be scheduling any group visits or birthday parties. We will continue to monitor the pandemic and will make changes to this policy as the situation unfolds.

Discovery Station group visits and field trips require a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 100 people per tour. All field trips must be conducted during normal operating hours; not exceeding a 2.5 -hour maximum trip visit.  Discounted Rate(s) for groups of 10 or more that are pre-booked:
Teacher(s)/Group leader • No Charge
Student/Youth Group members ages 6-17 (each) • $4.00
Chaperones (each) • $6.00

Advance reservation is required to qualify for group rates and all reservations must be booked and confirmed via email/phone by the Executive Director at least two weeks prior to the visitation date.

Chaperone Ratio

We do require a field trip ratio of 1 chaperone per every 5 students. We ask that all field trips assign students to designated groups prior to arriving at Discovery Station. Once the field trip arrives at the museum, we will go over the rules with the students and then split the field trip up into the assigned groups. Each group will then be sent to different locations within the museum and afterwards, they may move freely throughout the exhibits with their groups.

Students must be accompanied by chaperones at all times.

Trip Tips

Learn the names and faces of the students in your group and make sure they know your name.
Keep track of the students you’re chaperoning. Travel through exhibits as a group. Count your students before moving onto the next section of the museum.
While exploring each exhibit in the museum, engage students by asking thought-provoking questions. You don’t need to know the answers!

Museum Rules

Do not run in the museum. Please walk at all times. Use indoor voices at all times, so that other visitors may have the chance to enjoy the exhibits too.
Please respect museum property and handle each exhibit feature with care.
Share and take turns with each interactive piece.

Contact us  if you have any other questions or concerns.
