Field Trips

Teachers tell us that they enjoy Field Trips to Arizona Science Center and find them a great educational experience for their students. Many teachers, however, have told us they would like us to do more to help their students learn from our exhibits, IMAX films, planetarium shows, and other educational activities. We’ve listened and come up with what we call Focused Field Trips.
