Please reach out if you are interested in scheduling field trips for the 2021-2022 academic year. We are taking reservations with the understanding that field trips will be contingent upon COVID conditions. If we are not able to schedule a field trip at the time of your request due to public health considerations, we will let you know and supply you with additional resources including curriculum, a digital app to virtually explore the museum with associated learning tools, and more. We will also reach out to let you know as soon as we are able to schedule your group.

Get your students excited about the past with a field trip to the Washington State History Museum. Thousands of students come to the museum every year to explore how history connects us all. A field trip to the museum helps students make connections between past and present, see real objects from the past, and explore stories from across Washington State.
How to Book a Field Trip
