Field Trip FAQ’s

  • ImagineU Field Trips offer a unique hands-on experience through creative and imaginative play. When you first arrive, the bus will drop you off at the front of the museum in the designated Field Trip Unloading area. After your students unload from the bus you will be greeted by our staff. Our staff will walk your students and chaperones to the ImagineU backyard. Once in the backyard your students will have free play to help get the wiggles out from the bus ride and use the restroom if need be. At the end of your free time your students will be lined up into their groups. It is very helpful when the chaperones have preassigned groups and help gather them into the appropriate line. We ask that there is a one chaperone for every 10 students attending. Each group will start at a designated exhibit and then will rotate through all the exhibits, getting solid concentrated play time in each exhibit they visit. Our staff will call out when it is time to rotate by saying "it is time to clean up, line up, and rotate stations". Once your field trip time is complete our staff announce this as well, students are to clean up line up and head out to line up for the bus. At this time, we do give them time to make one final trip to the restroom before loading back onto the bus.
