Discover-It-Yourself Field Trips
Discover-It-Yourself (DIY) Visits are self-guided field trips to the museum for students and adults. DIY Visits are a great option for preschools and early elementary classrooms looking for a shared educational experience for their group. DIY Visits provide timed entry and departure at a discounted rate for groups of 10-80 children plus chaperones. This option provides up to 2.5 hours at the museum and the flexibility to explore the exhibitions at your own pace.
