Fees & Payment
All outreach programs are charged a $25 trip fee and mileage (if outside of Douglas, Sarpy or Pottawattamie counties). Payment is required on the day of the field trip unless other arrangements have been made. In the event of overpayment, a credit coupon will be issued for the amount of overpayment. The coupon will be valid for one year from the date of visit and may be used toward a future visit. Please make all checks payable to Omaha Children’s Museum.
Cancellation Policy
Contact the museum at least two weeks in advance to cancel your trip. Cancelled trips without two weeks notice will be charged a $25 cancellation fee. Groups who do not pay their cancellation fee may not book again until this fee is paid.
Chaperones
Omaha Children’s Museum requires adult chaperones with all student field trips. For school-age children, one chaperone can attend free with every six students. For preschool-age children, one chaperone can attend free for every four students. Any additional chaperones are charged group admission prices.
Eating Accommodations
The museum does not have food services. An activity room can be rented for $25 per group and used to eat inside the museum. This must be arranged when booking a field trip. Food or drinks are not allowed in the exhibit areas of the museum. There is a covered picnic area with tables outside the museum. Space is subject to availability.
Mileage Charges
Programs reserved at locations outside of Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie counties will be charged IRS Standard Mileage Rates. Locations more than 60 miles from the museum are required to reserve 2 or more programs. All outreaches are charged a $25 trip fee in addition to mileage.
