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!
