School field trips
How to schedule a visit with your class
Thank you for your interest in bringing your school group to visit the Eccles Wildlife Education Center. To accommodate our many user groups and plan for staffing needs, reservations are required for all types of field trips.
Currently, all reservation slots for Spring 2026 field trips are fully booked. Information on how to make a reservation for the 2026-27 school year will be available on this page in August 2026.
Frequently asked questions
A: No. Due to staffing limitations, we cannot visit schools for activities or presentations at this time.
A: Yes. We still have activities outside in mild inclement weather such as rain. During dangerous weather (for example, lighting storms), we conduct alternative activities indoors. Making sure your students and chaperones are prepared for being outside in most weather conditions — including shoes appropriate for walking, rain jackets or umbrellas, layers for cold weather, sun protection, etc. — is vital to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
