field trips
Give your students a field trip to remember at Knock Knock Children’s Museum! Self-guided field trips are offered to students early childhood – 3rd grade. As the name implies, this option encourages children, along with their teachers and chaperones, to explore the museum at their own pace.
Length of Field Trip
Field trips are scheduled for a 2-hour period. Groups should arrive at least 5 minutes in advance to check in. Field trips that arrive prior to opening or too far in advance of their scheduled visit will have to wait for entry.
Chaperone/Child Ratio
Knock Knock requires one (1) adult chaperone for every five (5) children. We strongly encourage schools to work within this ratio in order to ensure that students have the best possible field trip experience. Field trips with students with special needs or certain pre-school groups can have a higher chaperone/child ratio with pre-authorization.
The school will be responsible for facilitating the booking of parents/chaperones required to meet the 1:5 ratio. The cost of chaperone/parent attendance should be included in the payment Knock Knock receives from the school.
Any additional parents/chaperones (besides those used to meet the ratio) that would like to attend the field trip must purchase a general admission ticket online for $14.
A final head count is due 14 days prior to the scheduled date of the field trip.
Members
Additional parents/chaperones (not included in the 1:5 ratio) who are members will still have to pay $14 for admission to the field trip. Field trips are NOT included in member benefits.
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel your field trip with 7+ days’ notice before the scheduled date, you will receive a 50% refund less the booking fee.
If you cancel you field trip with less than 7 days’ notice, you will not receive a refund of any kind.
