Plan a Field Trip

Field trip groups are required to reserve free timed-entry passes to visit the museum. 

If you reserve a group program, passes will be automatically reserved for your group. 

Up to two reservations of 55 people per group can be submitted for one day. If you require more than 110 timed entry passes, we suggest that you have a different group point of contact (with a different email address) make any additional reservations.

Outside food and drink are not permitted in the Museum. Bottled water is allowed. 

The Mars Café is located at the lower level and open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The café has limited seating for patrons and food options. Outside food and drink are not allowed in the cafe.

Outside food and drink are not permitted in the object display areas of the Museum. Bottled water is allowed.
