Step 1:

Groups that are not eligible for the grant-funded field trip program may use the Group Reservation Sales page to plan their visit.
Step 2:
Check the calendar below to see if your preferred date is available. NOTE: 72 hours advance notice is required for field trip reservations. Dates in red are already full or otherwise unavailable for field trips.
Please note: Non-public Maryland schools are eligible for the free field trip program from September 3 through February 24 only. For a visit outside of this date range, please visit our Group Reservations page.
