    We are very excited to open The Earth & Space Science Center for field trips for the 2026-2027 school year beginning on September 8! Please take the time to familiarize yourself with these changes here prior to reserving your field trip.

    We have made changes to our field trip reservations, based on the size of your group. Please familiarize yourself with these changes prior to submitting your reservation.

    To allow for adequate spacing within our facility, and to ensure a safe, fun, and educational environment field there is a maximum number of visitors that are allowed with each field trip.

    • Group sizes may not exceed 100 total visitors (students, teachers, chaperones).
    • Field trip groups will be limited to students, teachers/educators, and school-approved chaperones only. We require at least one chaperone per 8 students.

  • Field Trip Schedule

    Field trips are held Tuesdays-Fridays from 9:30-11:30am. Our doors will open at 9:30am, but in order to make sure your group is organized and ready we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes ahead of time.

    We suggest allowing at least 90 minutes for your field trip to receive the full experience. If you arrive after 9:30am we will do everything we can to accommodate your group, but all field trips will be concluded no later than 11:30am.

    If there will be a delay or cancellation in arrival, it is the responsibility of the field trip sponsor to contact the TJC Earth & Space Science Center as soon as possible to inform us of the change.
