A 10% deposit is required to secure your date. You’ll receive a receipt or invoice to use for payment processing as needed.

Chaperones may park in the provided parking areas around ImagineU. They can wait in the car until the bus arrives OR they are welcome to wait at the front outside of the museum. Once the bus arrives, they can then walk in with the students and our staff. We do not allow them inside until the bus has arrived with their students. All chaperones do need to be on time and come in with the students.

ImagineU Field Trips offers 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. Our staff will greet you on the bus and review some rules before unloading. We will walk your students and chaperones to the ImagineU backyard. Our field trips include a 20-30 minute designated time built into the two hours for snack/lunch outside, or free play outside if you do not want to have a snack or lunch here. Depending on which time slot you book, this snack/lunch/free play time will be either at the front or back end of the field trip. Either way, in the backyard, your students will line up in the groups you preassign, with at least one chaperone per group in our backyard. Our staff will lead each group into the museum to the exhibit they will start at. Your students will rotate through our exhibits tp play and announcements will be made to rotate. We love when students get to come experience all the museum has to offer! Any questions can be directed to our Guest Services Assistant at 559 409 2203.

A 10% booking fee is required. An invoice and receipt showing the balance owed will be emailed to you. You are welcome to pay at any time up to the day of your field trip. We accept checks or credit cards.

WE DO NOT EXCEPT PURCHASE ORDERS.

Yes, staff will greet you once you exit the bus, you are welcome to give the payment to them. They will bring you a receipt before the end of the field trip.

If your bus is late, please remember that we cannot adjust your schedule. We understand that unforeseen circumstances and unexpected events may cause you to be late.  Unfortunately, we cannot adjust the schedule if you are late, and your students will miss out on some of the exhibits. We'd like to encourage you to arrive a few minutes early, allowing plenty of time to leave the bus and line up in groups.

You may have another school in the museum with you. Your school will travel in your groups and not be in the exhibits with other schools; however, they will be in the museum simultaneously. If you want a private field trip, you can book the "up to 90" or "Private" option when scheduling.

Only students in the class may attend field trips; additional children are not permitted. Chaperones are responsible for managing groups of students and may not bring other children. All chaperones must enter with the teachers and be prepared to supervise their assigned group.

You are welcome to bring lunch or a snack for your students. Our field trips include a 20-30 designated time built into the two hours for snack/lunch outside.  Please let our staff know beforehand if you are planning on bringing a snack or lunch so they can plan accordingly.  The eating area is outside at child-size picnic tables. 

Museum memberships cannot be applied for children attending their school for a field trip.

No, each Field Trip is booked and staffed for your specific number of students.
