Field Trips and Group Events
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate field trips during the summer, due to our summer camp schedule. If you would like to inquire about scheduling a field trip for the upcoming school year, please submit a request here.
Chicago-area schools, girl scouts, mom groups, pre-schools, and home daycare facilities are often seeking places to visit, that allow children to learn while having fun.
Kids Science Labs teaches hands-on science classes in creative design, problem-solving, and of course science, for kids that are toddlers to pre-teens.
Our fun field trips involve 60-75 minutes of hands-on science, where students actually learn a topic that is matched to Illinois Science Standards. We also offer additional science demonstrations upon request to groups.
Field Trips are $12-15/student, depending on group size. Our minimum school field trip is 15 students. We provide the science curriculum, teacher, and hands-on experiements for the students. All students build a project that they take home with them. Schools and organizations must bring enough staff to help us maintain our 8:1 student to teacher ratio for large groups. Special Group Events (mom groups, big brother/big sister, girl scouts) are available for groups as small as 8 students and are 90 minutes from beginning to end and are typically $20/student, depending on the topic.
We teach several new science classes every week (see sample class descriptions) We also can arrange for some special science classes that relate to your school lesson plans, if given enough advance notice. Larger or smaller sized student groups may also be arranged, based on availability and pricing.
Field Trips may be planned with ease on any of the following preferred days:
In addition, special events for kids may be arranged during weekday openings in our schedule. Request A Special Kids Event Online
