Group Visits & Field Trips

there's so much to do here with friends!

Fun Discovery Trips for Groups

Schedule a fun group visit to Habitot, a hands on discovery museum for young children. Preschools, family day cares, summer youth programs, church groups,
library literacy programs, mom and dad groups, play groups, hospital-based programs, homeless shelters, teen parent centers, and many others are welcome. Many groups are eligible for FREE group visits to the museum, including low-income preschools, Head Start and state or county-supported schools, as well as many social service agencies, homeless shelters, disabled children's programs and library literacy programs.

How Large Can My Group Be?
Because of the limitations of our space, a maximum of 15 children including siblings over 12 months are allowed on a field trip. The minimum number of participants on a group visit to receive reduced fees is 6 children.

For groups larger than 15 children, we recommend contacting the Hall of Health at (510) 549-1564 to schedule simultaneous field trips. The Hall of Health is a hands-on health education museum located next door to Habitot. For the first hour, up to 15 children can visit Habitot, while the other half visits the Hall of Health. During the second hour, the groups switch places.

We do NOT schedule group visits on advertised Free Admission Days. Free Admission Days attract a large number of visitors, making it difficult to manage a group of children.

Adult to Child Ratio on Group Visits
One adult must accompany every 6 children and direct supervision of children is expected at all times. For larger groups, we recommend assigning 3 to 6 children to each adult. We also recommend rotating among exhibits; in this way, no exhibit will become overcrowded.

Reservations and Information
To register for a group visit or for more information, please call (510) 647-1111 x10. To inquire about groups eligible for FREE Admission see group visit costs and eligibility
