There's no comparing the awe-inspiring nature of a Museum visit to a typical day in the classroom.
Bring your students to experience hands-on, real-world examples of science. Museum Entry is free for Illinois PreK-12 schools and discounted for out-of-state schools. Illinois teachers also can visit for free every day just by showing an educator ID card.
