Live Virtual Event

Virtual Field Trip

Our new virtual field trips work well as a stand-alone activity for students, or as a preview to an in-person visit to the Center. In this 60-minute virtual experience, a knowledgeable educator utilizes 3D tours of several of the Center's buildings to explore different themes live for a class of students. Peek behind counters and zoom in on artifacts to get closer than you ever have before.

Teachers will also receive supplemental craft lessons plans to enhance the virtual field trip.
