Field trip are asked to be prompt with their arrivals and departures. It is important that groups plan to stay at the museum only for the time allotted. Field trips are scheduled in a manner that allows everyone to have a pleasant experience at the museum. Arriving early or planning to stay later without prior arrangements will result in a less-than-ideal experience for your group and other museum visitors.
