Scheduling A Field Trip

The Muncie Children's Museum strives to be a focal point for hands-on, fun and educational learning. Our programs are designed to complement classroom learning. All programs are 30-45 minutes long, and are limited to one program per class. We encourage 'free time' to explore the Museum after programs. Please ask for a recommendation regarding the amount of free time that works best with your grade level. A confirmation will be sent regarding your field trip reservation.
