Field Trip

Field Trip Admission:

*Membership Benefits do NOT apply to field trip costs

The Imaginarium does require a $20 deposit to reserve your field trip. The deposit is applied to the total cost of your field trip on the day of your visit. The deposit is non-refundable for cancellations, but can be applied to a different field trip date.

Field Trip Schedule:
Monday-Friday
9-11am
12noon-2pm

The Imaginarium books field trips Monday-Friday during the Fall and Spring Semesters while school is in session. Please call the museum at 956-728-0404 for date and schedule availability.

Preparing for your Field Trip:
Each Field Trip to the Imaginarium includes a grade appropriate activity that relates to our current special exhibit and correlates with TEKS standards. After the activity, your group is given the rest of the time in the museum to explore each of our exhibits. Please see our Field Trip Information flier for complete information to share with your school. Take a look at our Field Trip Brochure for a list of activities available for your group.

There is a maximum of 75 students per trip. If your group is larger than 75, we suggest booking both time slots for one day and split the group for morning and afternoon tours.

After confirming your date and time, please fill out and return the Field Trip Contract to the Imaginarium, as well as leave a $20 deposit to reserve your date. Contracts may be faxed to the Imaginarium at 956-725-7776.

Tips for Your Field Trip:

  • Be sure to book your date as early as possible - available dates fill up quickly (especially towards the end of each semester).
  • Leave your $20 deposit to insure that your field trip date is secured. You also get more classroom resources when you leave your deposit!
  • Fill out your contract completely with all the information, especially the grade of your class. This helps our trip educators to better prepare for your class specifically.
  • We recommend bringing one chaperone for every ten students.
  • Enter and exit through the front door of the museum, as a complete group.
