With your help, we would like to make learning fun for kids, and a memorable part of their childhood. If you have a particular curriculum unit you are studying, or just want to come play for the day, we are happy to coordinate with you. Please call (541) 772-9922 ext. 1 to schedule your visit.
Field Trips
Every child has the chance to learn through play at The Children’s Museum of Southern Oregon. Your group will explore hands-on interactive exhibits inspired by life in Southern Oregon!
Please Note Birthday Party Policy
Out of respect for all guests and the capabilities of our space, we are unable to accommodate birthday parties in our public areas.
If you are interested in having a birthday party at the museum, check out our Private Events >> and connect with our Outreach Team to reserve our Culinary Studio where we are able to accommodate celebrations. Private Events include a designated space for your party and museum admission.
Policy for Field Trips & Group Visits
-Advance Reservations are required for all groups with 10 or more children.
This allows us time to ensure we are properly staffed for your group or class. Since this is during museum hours this allows us to notify other guests of the increased numbers.
-There must be one adult chaperone (18 or over) for every 5 children.
-The maximum group size is 40 children.
Play Areas
Groups may use all open areas of the museum including the Makery and The Outdoor Adventure (coming late summer / early fall). Use of The Clay Studio and/or Culinary Studio are not included in a field trip or group visit.
Currently, the eating area for field trips is the amphitheater in our Outdoor Adventure.
