The Westchester Children's Museum offers field trips aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, Common Core Math, and ELA learning standards. All Museum field trips, exhibits, and hands-on STEAM workshops are adaptable to honor and complement the ages and stages of child development from Preschool through 5th grade.

Helpful Booking Information:

• Field Trip Format: Our field trips take place while the Museum is open to the general public and are conducted in a semi-guided format. Each class (preschool to 5th grade) will have a dedicated Museum educator to lead all smaller chaperoned groups around the Museum floor.
• Scheduling: Morning and afternoon sessions, lasting 90 minutes to 2 hours, are available. Most schools add one of our 30-minute STEAM workshops.
• Capacity: The Museum can accommodate up to 6 daily classes for on-site field trips (approximately 120 students and 20 chaperones). If your group exceeds this capacity, we can arrange for multiple-day visits. If not all class spots are booked, multiple schools may book the same date, providing the total participant numbers remain below 120 students.  If another school has booked on a date already, the booking system will only allow you to add more students to that date up to the 120 total capacity.
• Chaperones: The Museum requires a minimum of 1 adult for every 6 children. All adult chaperones must complete our Chaperone Agreement Form at least a week before the date of the trip.
• Lunches: We do not have a reserved space for Field Trip lunches. Please plan accordingly and make other arrangements for lunch on your trip day.

Important Payment Information:

• ​Online Payment: This is required during the booking process. If this presents a barrier to your school’s visit, you may send a payment via check by selecting the “Pay Later” option at checkout, represented by the mailbox icon on the far right. 
• Checks by Mail: Due a month before your visit. In the memo, include the invoice number.  
• Other: If your school only approves payment on or after the trip has occurred, please state this in response to the confirmation email you will receive, and we will send you a Letter of Agreement to sign.
