Let Us Be Your Classroom

Field trips allow teachers and students to explore classroom concepts in a fun, hands-on environment.

Leave the desks behind…

A field trip to your Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum will help you apply Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations and Common Core State Standards to real-world adventures. Kids will explore, learn, and engage in an environment dedicated to supporting your teaching with hands-on experiences. Also, if you can’t come to us, we offer many of our in-house lessons as traveling extension lessons.
