Bring learning to life with a field trip to the Discovery Center of Idaho. Students can explore science beyond the classroom through hands-on exhibits, interactive experiences and opportunities to investigate, experiment and discover together.
Whether you're connecting your visit to classroom learning or simply giving students a chance to experience STEM in a new way, a Discovery Center field trip makes learning something they can see, touch and explore.
Field Trip Reservations
Field trip reservations for the upcoming school year will open in October 2026.
Our Education Team is busy inspiring young scientists through camps, but we're already looking forward to welcoming school groups back to the Discovery Center.
Check back in October for field trip availability, pricing and reservation information.
