Our Schedule:

9:00—Load Buses (Parents are welcome to follow us to the museum or meet us there at the front entrance)

11:15—Meet at the IMAX theater.

11:30—12:15—Watch IMAX film: Born to Be Wild. (There is limited seating available, so if you would like to watch the film with your child, please be sure to purchase a ticket ahead of time to avoid running out of seats.)

After IMAX film we will meet back out on the front lawn for a picnic lunch. We will have coolers to store sack lunches. However, the museum’s café will be open if you would like to purchase lunches there.

Once we are done with lunch, we will load buses and head back to school. You are more than welcome to have your child leave with you, but you must sign him/her out on the teacher’s sign out sheet.
