Give your students a field trip to remember at Knock Knock Children's Museum! Self-guided field trips are offered to students early childhood - 3rd grade. As the name implies, this option encourages children, along with their teachers and chaperones, to explore the museum at their own pace.
Scheduling Field Trips
Field trips are available Tuesday - Thursday from 9:30 am - 11:30 am, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, and Friday from 10:30 am - 12:30 pm and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm for groups of 100 children or less. For larger groups, please email fieldtrips@knockknockmuseum.org to book your field trip.
PLEASE NOTE: Wednesday field trips are reserved for Head Start centers and preschool groups (3-5 yrs).
Prices
$10 per student
$10 per chaperone used to meet the 1:5 ratio
$14 per additional adult (payable separately online here)
Teachers/paraprofessionals are free!
Chaperone/Child Ratio
Knock Knock requires one (1) adult chaperone for every five (5) children. We strongly encourage schools to work within this ratio in order to ensure that students have the best possible field trip experience. Field trips with students with special needs or certain pre-school groups can have a higher chaperone/child ratio with pre-authorization.
The school will be responsible for facilitating the booking of chaperones required to meet the 1:5 ratio. The $10 cost of chaperone attendance should be included in the payment Knock Knock receives from the school.
Any additional adults (besides those chaperones used to meet the ratio) that would like to attend the field trip must purchase an additional adult field trip ticket online for $14 here.
A final head count is due 7 days prior to the scheduled date of the field trip.

Additional parents/chaperones (not included in the 1:5 ratio) who are members will have to pay for admission to the field trip. Field trips ARE NOT included in member benefits!
