Book a School Field Trip

Whether you’re coming for a guided field trip or want to utilize our living collections to enhance your own educational activity, there is something for every school here.  If you’re unsure which experience is best for your school, please review our School Field Trip Options table below before booking your trip.

Please note, field trip opportunities are no longer available for this current school year (2024/25). We will begin booking in September 2025 for the 2025/2026 school year.

Guided Tour availability 

Guided school tours will be offered on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from the first week of October through the first week of June. We also offer tours on Wednesday mornings in March, April and May 2025. Tours are scheduled for 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. For schools visiting from outside Santa Barbara, a late start tour (10-11 a.m.) is available.
