Field Trips

The Cook Museum of Natural Science offers interactive, hands-on activities about the observable natural world. School groups can enjoy a deep dive into animals of the Arctic/Desert, climb to the top of “Big Tree”, explore the life-like cave, and more! Students will learn about nature and animals in a way that will spark their love of learning for years to come. 

Groups of 15 or more students from K-12 schools, preschools, daycares, head start programs, and organized homeschools can enjoy discounted field trip rate pricing to the Exhibits by registering for their visit at least two weeks in advance.
