Field Trips

Bring your curriculum to life with a field trip to the Springfield Museums! Explore science, art, history, and the world of Dr. Seuss through engaging tours and hands-on programs that spark curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

Whether your focus is STEM, literacy, history, art, or interdisciplinary learning, our educators will work with you to customize a field trip that meets your curriculum goals, accommodates your group’s accessibility needs, and creates meaningful learning opportunities for every student.

Field trips are available September through June and require at least two weeks’ advance notice. Book a group tour to visit in July and August.
