Field Trips

Who Can Enjoy the Museum?
‍When planning a field trip, it's crucial to ensure that the content and activities are appropriate for your students' age group. The Children's Museum of Eau Claire is designed to captivate and educate children aged 0 to 11 years old. Our exhibits are crafted to inspire curiosity, creativity, and learning through play. From tactile activities for the toddlers to thought-provoking puzzles for the older children, there is something at the museum for every child within this age range to enjoy and learn from.

Planning Your Visit
To accommodate the educational needs and schedules of various school groups, the Children's Museum of Eau Claire welcomes educational field trips with start times between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. This time frame allows us to provide a structured and engaging experience for all visiting students. Teachers can schedule trips during these hours, ensuring that students can make the most of their educational outing without the rush of general public hours.

Budgeting for Your Museum Visit
We believe that educational experiences should be accessible to all students. That's why a field trip to our museum is affordably priced at $6 per student. To further support school groups, we allow teachers or chaperones to accompany the children at no additional cost. This pricing structure is designed to ease the financial aspect of trip planning and ensure that as many children as possible can enjoy our exhibits.

Bringing Additional Support!
The safety and enjoyment of our visitors are of paramount importance. For this reason, we require a certain number of chaperones to accompany students, following our advised ratio numbers. Once the minimum chaperone requirement is met, schools are welcome to bring as many additional chaperones as they wish. This policy ensures that students have ample supervision and support as they explore the museum, making the trip enjoyable and manageable for everyone involved.

Arrival and Departure Details
When organizing a field trip to the museum, logistics are key. Groups should utilize the designated loading and unloading zone on Galloway Street for a smooth arrival and departure.

Parking
Cars can park in the North Barstow Ramp. Street parking is also available, but limited. We encourage buses and cars to plan accordingly, allowing a little extra time for parking to ensure that the field trip begins and ends on time.
