What to know before booking
Reservations
Reservations are required at least two weeks in advance. Programs are filled to capacity, and there is a limit to daily school trip admissions. Dates and prices are subject to change.
Lunch Facilities
The HOSC can provide space, tables, and chairs for field trip lunches on a very limited basis and are first-come-first-served. We have lunch table capacity for ~50 children inside and 50 outside so large groups may need to split eating times. Requests for lunch space must be made in advance.

(For groups of 15 or more!)
Standard Field Trip
Students, Parents and Siblings are $4.00 each. Teachers and siblings under 3 are free!

Chaperones and Safety
For the safety of your students and other HOSC visitors, chaperones are required at a ratio of one adult to ten children. Chaperones must be at least 18 years old and are required to stay with and monitor the students. The supervision of groups is the responsibility of the teachers and chaperones. HOSC staff cannot – at any time – be held responsible for any youth in your group. Disruptive behavior, vandalism, and misuse of the exhibits and/or the facility will not be tolerated. The HOSC reserves the right to eject any group who is being disruptive to other guests and/or not following the HOSC safety regulations and rules.
