For Teachers & Groups

Field Trips

Bring your class to a museum built for big imaginations. Every Harbor House field trip pairs a curriculum-connected program with free exploration across our six worlds — paced for real school days, with a group welcome desk, reserved lunch space, and a passport badge ceremony to send everyone home proud. Every price on this page is a sample price — demonstration only.

Field trips at a glance

Sample price

$9 per student — sample price, demonstration only. No hidden fees, and the day is planned around your group from arrival to departure.

Chaperones

1 free chaperone per 5 students — our required ratio, so every small group has a grown-up explorer. The lead teacher is always free.

Visit length

Most field trips run 2.5–3 hours — one led program, a snack break, free exploration in two more worlds, lunch, and the badge ceremony.

Bus drop-off

Buses drop off and pick up in the Harbor Lane loop, right at the Group Welcome entrance (fictional). See lunch & logistics below for bus parking.

Choose your program

Each class picks one led program in its world, then explores freely. Programs are led by a Harbor House educator and connect to classroom learning — pick the world your students are curious about, or the topic you are teaching next.

Sample programs — demonstration only

Our six programs: Fossil Detectives (Dino Discovery), Cadet Training: Mission Day (Mission Space), Reef Rangers (Ocean Explorers), Design Thinkers Studio (Imagination Factory), Map Skills Treasure Quest (Adventure Island), and Community Builders (Little Builders City).

A sample field-trip day

Every group gets a rotation card at check-in, so your class always knows where it is headed next. Here is the rhythm of a typical visit:

9:30 Arrive & check in at Group Welcome Desk (wristbands + rotation cards)
9:45 Program 1 in your chosen world
10:45 Snack break (café terrace)
11:00 Free exploration rotation (two more worlds)
12:00 Lunch (reserved terrace)
12:30 Passport badge ceremony + group photo
12:45 Departure

Lunch & logistics

Lunch on the terrace

Your group has a reserved Harbor Café terrace for lunch. Order café lunches ahead, or bring your own — packed lunches are welcome, with allergy-aware seating arranged by our groups team.

Buses & parking

Bus drop-off and pick-up use the Harbor Lane loop at the Group Welcome entrance. While you explore, buses park on Pier Street (fictional) — drivers are welcome inside for coffee.

Check-in, made easy

Check in at the Group Welcome Desk on Harbor Lane. We hand out explorer wristbands and rotation cards, store lunches and coats, and a Harbor House host walks your class to its first world.
