The Children's Discovery Museum of the Desert provides an exciting opportunity for educators to give a "hands-on" experience for their students. Field Trips are available throughout the year with reservations. Your two hour adventure begins with a brief orientation for students, parent helpers and educators. Then groups explore the over fifty hands-on exhibits in a self-guided tour.

Field Trip groups making their reservation with our Field Trip Coordinator will receive a pre-assigned, two hour time at a discounted rate per child. We recommend that you make your reservation as early as possible due to popularity of seasonal dates and times. Come and take an adventure with us!
