Knock Knock Field Trips

Field trips to Knock Knock Children’s Museum open doors for children to a world of possibility and opportunity. Our museum’s 18 Learning Zones are specially designed to foster early literacy, creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and hand-on experimentation. 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.

Chaperone/Child Ratio

To ensure the best field trip experience, Knock Knock requires one adult chaperone for every five children. Trips having students with special needs may need a higher chaperone-to-child ratio. School must facilitate the booking of chaperones and the $10 cost of each chaperone must be included in the payment of the field trip.

Any additional adults who would like to attend the field trip should purchase general admission tickets online at the full price rate using the link below. This policy applies to members and non-members. Admission for adults possessing an EBT card may be paid at the front desk on the day of the field trip for $3. School administration determines the staus of the adults attending – chaperone or additional adult.

The final headcount of every attending is due seven days before the schedule field trip date.

**NOTE: It is the sole responsibility of the child care center or school administration to determine the status of the adults (chaperone or additional adult) accompanying students on field trip.
