Science Field Trip Details

All of our field trips are hands-on, tied to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for K-8th grade and in Chicago they are each correlated with Amplify Science curriculum for each grade level. Teachers can choose from 20 original field trips in Physical Science, Life Science, Engineering, and Earth & Space Science, for grades JK - 8th Grade. Whether it’s states of matter, chemical reactions, dissections, magnets and forces for elementary school, or teaching Pre-K scientists how surface tension works with bubbles.

We have successfully served over 100,000 students and more than 1,000 schools. We can typically accommodate the following:

  • Groups of up to 225 students/day

  • Hands-on Science that is both fun and that advances the NGSS objectives

  • We successfully serve Title I, Gifted, Magnet, Private, and advanced STEM schools

  • Our at-school packages, include a Kids Science Labs Teacher and all science materials provided by KSL. We can serve an entire K-8 school over the academic year with weekly visits.

  • Individual “one-time” Field Trips are only available at our Kids Science Labs centers and have a minimum engagement of 50 students (2 classrooms).

  • Ask about our special rates through strategic partnership with Chicago Public Schools!

Field Trips - all year, all Great

At School Field Trips
Teachers and schools love visiting our centers for impactful and fun hands-on science experiences. On-campus (at your school) field trips average 45 minutes, where we provide an awesome K-8th grade teacher during the school day, all science materials for each child to do their own science experiment, and we lead the entire lesson to support your grade level objectives and standards. We are able to push into classrooms as well as work using a dedicated classroom for the day.

At KSL Field Trips
When you come to one of our centers, field trips are 75-minutes full of engaging science experiments and activities led by our inspiring teachers and held in our world-class facilities. Teachers can relax and enjoy the experience too as we do all the engagement from arrival to departure, smiles included!

Every class starts with a curious question that a child wants to know!

Why are Kids Science Labs Field Trips so special for students, parents, teachers, and administrators?

  • Each Field Trip is 45-75 minutes of exciting hands-on science for students. The students do real experiments themselves.

  • Children at KSL design and innovate solutions to real world problems, including projects that they design to take home, so the learning and creativity never stops.

  • All of our field trips align with NGSS Earth and Environmental Science, Physical Science, Life Science, and Engineering.

  • Every field trip that we offer includes a teacher card to provide additional classroom ideas that further the learning when groups return to school. We also provide takeaway cards to explain the concepts at home.

  • Kids think we are awesome and get a unique experience, whether on your school campus or at Kids Science Labs. Our world class facilities feature classroom labs designed to create a learning environment that works.

  • All of our teachers are passionate about science, creativity, and helping kids engage their curiosity.


It’s a really cool place for kids to learn. I came here for two separate field trips (parachutes & electricity) with a 6th and 5th grade class, where you build a little house out of foam and connect a light switch to it.

As a first grade teacher, I look forward to this field trip each year! There are TONS of different topics to choose from. Students are engaged the ENTIRE time they are at KSL, and it is ok (and expected) for them to ‘dig in’ to their science learning activities. The staff is friendly, helpful and knows how to relate to children.
