Field Trips

Book your field trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota today!

At the Science Museum, learners will find interactive exhibits filled with stories about science, cultures, discoveries, and the people who observe and analyze our world.

From exhibits like RACE: Are We So Different, which shares the lived experiences and history of people of color and the science behind race, to the Dinosaurs & Fossils gallery, where fossil remains showcase the scale and biodiversity of ancient life on Earth, K–12 field trip groups have the opportunity to engage with one another and spark a lifelong love of science. Educators can pick which permanent and/or traveling exhibits their classes will experience during the field trips, which can help tailor the students’ experiences to learning objects and other goals. 

In addition to exciting exhibits, your class can also experience the hard work of our dedicated team of educators in the form of interactive online lessons and educator guides. These supporting materials bring thoughtful questions and activities to the table, adding context and supporting what students learned or will learn during their in-person field trip.
