Early Childhood Field Trip Workshops

COSI’s Early Childhood Field Trip Workshops can help with those “hard to teach” science concepts. Get down and dirty in our Early Childhood Workshop Space and explore a variety of topics. Have a difficult topic you don’t see listed below? Work with our Program Manager to suggest a topic and design your own workshop (additional costs may apply).

Early Childhood Field Trip Workshops include hands-on activities, post-visit activities for the teachers, and pre-printed take home letters for each student.

Reservations: Please call toll-free 888.819.2674.

Cost: $80 for up to 20 pre-kindergartners or 24 kindergartners, plus group rate admission.

Adult chaperones must accompany groups (one adult per every five students). Chaperones are admitted free to the workshop with group rate admission.
