Out-of-school time and Summer Field Trips

Bring your youth to the museum after school hours, on summer break or during school breaks for a one-of-a-kind field trip experience. Located in downtown Indianapolis, the Indiana State Museum features three levels of interactive galleries, special exhibits and hands-on activities.

  • Cost
    $6/student (ages 3-17), $11/adult (two free staff members). One adult required per 10 students.

School and Family Night Events

Family engagement is important to creating a connection that extends learning beyond your program. If you have a school or family event and are looking for hands-on activities for all ages, we’ve got you covered. We’ll help plan an event at your school for your families, either during the day or in the evening.

We’ll provide the necessary materials and a museum team member for set up, 30-minutes of training for station volunteers, oversight and problem-solving during the event, and clean up afterwards. You will need to supply space, one table for each station with electrical outlet access if needed, and one volunteer per station.

  • Cost
    $125 for the first activity station, $100 per additional station up to 3 hours
