We are so glad you’re joining us for Vikings Voyage at the Science Museum of Minnesota. Here are some tips and tricks to know before your Voyage begins!
Confirmation of final count
Final confirmation of head count is due two weeks prior to the date of your visit.
Chaperone policy
We ask all groups to bring one adult chaperone for every five students attending the Vikings Voyage at the Science Museum.
Teams
To allow for the best experience for your students, please split your group into two teams: Purple and White. The two teams will alternate between Vikings Voyage STEM activities and exploring the museum exhibits. You know your students best, so we request that educators identify the teams prior to arrival.
Drop-off and pick-up
Please plan to arrive at your confirmed time. Buses will arrive at the Education Entrance at Eagle and Chestnut Streets. Please remain on the bus; a staff member will join you on board for a greeting and quick orientation.
Get your money back! To expedite receiving your bus reimbursement, please complete a W-9 for your school ahead of time and send it to vikingsvoyage@smm.org.
Lunches
Museum staff will collect lunches upon arrival and store them in our field trip lunch space. When your Voyage is over, you can pick up your lunch bags while returning to the bus.

Your Voyage will take you all over the Science Museum of Minnesota. Please let us know in advance if members of your group require accessibility accommodations.
