School Field Trips
Make a field trip reservation for the 2016–2017 school year at our exciting Pier 15 location. The first day of field trips is Ocboer 4, 2016. Plan ahead for next year and make a reservation now.
School Field Trips are primarily self-guided, which lets teachers plan a trip that best meets the needs of their particular students. But students will also participate in engaging experiences led by our Field Trip Explainers, the educators who support students’ learning at the Exploratorium.

Here’s all the basic information you need to plan your field trip, including how to make a reservation, directions to the Exploratorium, and details about our services and policies.
