Car Check In
Parking for cars is available in the museum parking lot and you will then meet the group at our Group Entry on the west side of the Main Lobby.

Check-In Process
Students should stay on the bus. A Discovery Lab staff will come to the bus to greet the students and lead them into the building through our Group Entry door.
The field trip leader should give their student and adult counts for the trip to the Discovery Lab staff member that greets the bus. This will be adjusted on the invoice to reflect the final cost.
Any parent or chaperone paying separately from your group will need to check in at our guest services desk upon arrival and pay $12 plus tax at the front desk when they arrive.
