Field Trips
During the museum field trip, students will get to engage with our experienced Edunauts, which include hands-on, minds-on activities that coincide with 5,000 square feet of engaging, highly interactive exhibit material from Above and Beyond! Part of the field trip consists of an immersive experience into our solar system that includes experiences involving a gravity well and asteroid impacts!
Teachers, we haven’t forgotten about you—some resources will be available for you after your field trip to take back to your classrooms (grades 3 to 8). Think of it as your “flight kit!”
Other options for grades K-2, such as a field trip experience that coincides with another hands-on, minds-on exhibit.
After your formal field trip experience with our Edunauts, check out our hangars and even the gift shop! We look forward to hosting you in 2023!
Overnights
