The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature

Student Field Trips at The Bishop engage students in interactive learning with our collection and the world-at-large. Your school’s curriculum comes to life as students discover, question, and explore!

Student Field Trips are two-hour guided experiences featuring The Bishop’s most popular exhibitions, a visit to the Parker Manatee Rehabilitation Habitat, and one Planetarium show. The exhibitions highlighted and the information given are tailored to the age of your students, from Pre-K to college, and follow the themes of Florida Plants and Animals, Florida’s First Peoples, and Florida Natural History. Field trips for Pre-K to 1^st graders may include the Mosaic Backyard Universe interactive children’s exhibit.
