Field Trips
Field trips at The Rabbit hOle offer a completely unique literary experience for students. Our literature-based programs are designed to provide a wide range of opportunities for children to connect with books, book creators, and their own creative practices. Field trips at The Rabbit hOle create different access points to literature and ultimately seek to get kids excited about books.

Group size per booking: Field trips can be scheduled for a minimum of 8 students and up to a maximum of 40 students. On your field trip, students will be required to split into small groups of 8, led by chaperones. Each small group is referred to as a “pod.”
-
1 Pod = up to 8 students + 1 teacher or chaperone
We understand that not every class is divisible by 8, which is why pods contain up to 8 students and each pod must be paired before their visit with a teacher or chaperone. For example, if you are visiting with a class of 10 students, we would ask that you split your students into two pods of 5, each with a designated chaperone.
Adults:
-
We require 1 adult chaperone/teacher per “pod”; chaperones receive complimentary admission. Every chaperone should be paired ahead of time with their pod.
-
Additional adults above the chaperone ratio will be charged admission at our group visit rate ($14/person) and may be asked to visit the Museum separately from the group. You can purchase tickets for up to 5 additional adults. One-on-one certified aides are admitted free of charge and are not included in the chaperone ratio.
Admission:
-
Field trip admission is $10.00 per student.
-
Payment must be made in one purchase through our ticketing system 48 hours after the ticketing link is sent. Tickets can not be refunded in the case that students or chaperones are absent on the day of the field trip.
-
Title 1 funding information is released with limited availability, on a first come first serve basis. If your school is a Title 1 School and you would like to discuss the opportunity for a scholarship or funding, please be sure to note this in your field trip request form.
