Sacramento Children's Museum (SCM) is the perfect destination for your Field Trip! We invite you, your students, and chaperones to experience an environment specifically tailored to your children's learning and developmental needs. Studies confirm that while children play in children's museums, observable and quantifiable learning takes place. From simple cause and effect, to development of fine motor skills, to informational and procedural learning, our exhibits and programs are designed to engage children in simple and complex forms of play that result in foundational learning. A Field Trip to SCM sparks lifelong learning through the power of play!

Details

Field Trips are ideal for students in preschool through 2nd grade with their chaperones.
SCM only allows one (1) group to visit at a time. If your organization is planning on taking a bus, we can accommodate a maximum group size of 70 people (this includes students, chaperones, and teachers). We understand parent chaperones may need to bring siblings to your visit. In order to provide the best possible experience for everyone, please add siblings into your numbers when registering. Children under the age of 1 are FREE and do not need to be included.
Groups must have 1 adult / 5 school-aged children and 1 adult / 2 toddlers (under 5 years old).
