Field Trips

Yes!  The Children's Museum can accommodate your field trip!  In order to book your field trip, call the museum at (708) 423-6709.  Here is how it works:

• A group of 10 children or more is considered a field trip
• Field trip prices are $5 per child and $5 per adult
• We require 1 adult for every 6 children (so if you have 14 children, you are required to have 3 chaperones)
• The required number of chaperones are free.  Any chaperone over the required amount will be charged a $5 admission fee.
• A 25% deposit is required to hold your field trip date
• Here is a video to help make your experience at the museum a great one!

Why not make your field trip unique and take the train to the Children's Museum in Oak Lawn? The Children's Museum is located right next door to the Oak Lawn Train Station. For more information on the Metra Southwest line train schedule, click here.

Bus Information

To maximize safety and to make your experience a great one, the below picture shows the museum's drop-off and pick-up point for buses.  There is a sign right before the drop-off/pick-up point that reads "Do Not Enter Until 2:00 PM."  That does not apply to field trips coming to the museum on buses. After drop-off, buses can park in the parking alcove right in front of the parking garage after drop-off.  The parking alcove is right beside where your bus will drop-off the kids.  If you have any questions regarding buses, please call the museum at (708) 423-6709 and press "0" when you hear the recording. One of our staff will be happy to answer your questions.
