FIELD TRIPS
If you're looking for a fun and educational experience for your students, ImagineU is the perfect destination. ImagineU Children's Museum offers various interactive exhibits and activities suitable for preschool to second-grade students.
What makes ImagineU unique is its specially designed exhibits. Students can role-play, experiment, and explore concepts in a safe and interactive environment. From harvesting fruit, to painting, to pretending to be a first responder, to fishing, to working on a car, your students have lots of opportunities for hands on learning and fun. At the same time, they're fostering essential social skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.
A field trip to ImagineU is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn in an engaging way that inspires a love for creativity and imagination.
We would love to host your students!

ImagineU Field Trips offers a unique hands-on experience through creative and imaginative play. When you first arrive, the bus will drop you off at the front of the museum in the designated Field Trip Unloading area. Our staff will greet you on the bus and review some rules before unloading. We will walk your students and chaperones to the ImagineU backyard. Our field trips include a 20-30 minute designated time built into the two hours for snack/lunch outside, or free play outside if you do not want to have a snack or lunch here. Depending on which time slot you book, this snack/lunch/free play time will be either at the front or back end of the field trip. Either way, in the backyard, your students will line up in the groups you preassign, with at least one chaperone per group in our backyard. Our staff will lead each group into the museum to the exhibit they will start at. Your students will rotate through our exhibits tp play and announcements will be made to rotate. We love when students get to come experience all the museum has to offer! Any questions can be directed to our Guest Services Assistant at 559 409 2203.
