Educators, pardon our dust! Throughout 2013, we will be closing a handful of exhibitions for general maintenance. Fortunately there's plenty more to see at the Museum during your field trip! Feel free to contact us at educators@fieldmuseum.org for recommendations of alternate destinations within the Museum. Note that this schedule is subject to change.

Planning and implementing a successful learning experience at The Field Museum requires planning and preparation. In order to effectively lead your group, you need to have a clear understanding of the Museum's layout, available resources, and the day's learning activities.

Be sure to review our field trip registration, policies, prices and student programs information first. Use our Field Trip Planning Guide to guide you through the process and ensure you are well prepared for your visit.
