At Westchester Children's Museum, we believe children learn best when having fun, actively exploring their environments, and engaging in playful interactions with others. Our educational philosophy results in a vibrant, interactive, playful learning space and experiences that nurture curiosity, enhance knowledge, & ignite imaginations.

Hands-On STEAM Workshops: Most schools add-on one of our workshops: Art to Animation, Light & Sound, STEAM Fairy Tales, Energy & Magnets, Space Exploration, Kids Chemistry, Environmental Explorers, Historic Technology & Simple Machines, Create Art with Math, Building Structures, and Wind & Flight.

Our Educator Guide contains everything you need to know, including an easy sign-up process for one class, one grade, or the entire school. Don't hesitate to contact our Education and Program Manager for information and booking inquiries.

We also can come to your school or events with our fun and innovative Hands-On STEAM Workshops and mobile exhibits.

Helpful Info

  • Field Trip Format: Our field trips take place while the Museum is open to the general public and are conducted in a semi-guided format. Each class (preschool to 5th grade) will have a dedicated Museum educator to lead all smaller chaperoned groups around the Museum floor.

  • Scheduling: Morning and afternoon sessions, lasting 90 minutes to 2 hours, are available. Most schools add one of our 30-minute STEAM workshops.

  • Capacity: The Museum can accommodate up to 6 daily classes for on-site field trips (approximately 120 students and 20 chaperones). If your group exceeds this capacity, we can arrange for multiple-day visits.

All of the teachers and parents thought the visit was amazing and we cannot wait to go back next year. The schedule of the day was great! We liked that the classes moved around the museum in an organized way.

I just wanted to thank you for a great field trip this Friday. The Westchester Children’s Museum exceeded our expectations! The second and third graders had a great time and learned so much. We hope to be back next year. - Teacher from George Grant Mason School, Tuxedo
