Bring your group for some
Big Fun!
We love hosting field trip groups at the Black Earth Children's Museum! Our community-supported museum strives to make your field trip experience pleasant and engaging.
Our field trip rate is $6/student and there is no charge for teachers/adults.
Typically field trip length is 1.5-2 hours. 2 hour maximum trip.
While we recognize that most groups prefer a morning field trip, for groups that are able to schedule a field trip in the afternoon, we can accommodate private field trip visits to the museum on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
There are a number of options we have to make your field trip special - depending on student age and group size, we may offer a couple of special activities that we set up in our multi-purpose room. We do have space for lunch or snack - we have an indoor multi-purpose room as well and an outdoor covered patio. Another wonderful option when weather permits is that there is a covered pavilion with picnic tables at Black Earth Veterans Memorial Park which is 1 block down from the museum. Depending upon the size of the group, some field trip groups will split into classrooms or simply in 1/2 and students spend 1/2 of their time at the museum and 1/2 at the playground and covered pavilion.
Please take a look at our field trip calendar and use the form to indicate preferred field trip dates and times.
Your group can enjoy the entire Black Earth Children's Museum on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 1:00 all on their own!
We recommend age groups in the 4 to 8 year old range, and a optimal size of 25 kids. Larger groups can be accommodated with special arrangements.
Please note: We do not accept field trip groups during designated spring break or winter break weeks due to visitor volumes.
We offer a fun option for your groups next outing.
