Summer self-guided field trips are a great way for summer camps and summer schools to visit the museum in a supported and flexible way.

Self-guided field trip fees per grpup (of up to 20 kids and 4 adults):

All summer groups $75.00

The Canada Strong Pass cannot be used to book self-guided programs.

Summer self-guided field trips include:

• A designated space for coats and backpacks
• A reserved time and space for lunch (11:15am-11:45am)
• Access to the museum's permanent galleries (the children's gallery is for age 8 and under)

Each booking allows for up to 20 kids and 4 adults to attend.

To keep our galleries, as well as the students visiting safe, we ask that kids are supervised AT ALL TIMES in the galleries.

Bookings are completed upon confirmation of credit card payment. At this time, we are not allowing payment upon arrival for school bookings - they must be paid for in advance.

You will receive an email to the provided preferred email address approximately 1 week prior to your booking with further information about arrival.
