Learning Labs

Learning Labs are a great way to enhance a field trip with interactive learning. Each lab lasts approximately 45 minutes and is designed specifically for your grade level. Learning Labs include a hands-on activity and, for PreK through 2nd grade, a story. Learning Labs are $2 per student (added to a $5 Basic Field Trip). Each class is limited to 30 children. Groups with more than 30 children will be asked to split into smaller groups.
