We are now accepting field trip bookings for the 2023/24 school year! 

 

Book early to reserve your spot! Open to grades TK-12th, for all school organizations. 

Go beyond the ordinary: explore space, science and technology at Chabot and NASA Ames Visitor Center!

Get ready for you and your class to embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure that sparks your students’ imagination. We are excited to welcome you to Chabot Space & Science Center, home of NASA Ames Visitor Center.

Students are immersed in hands-on NGSS-aligned design challenges that show them what it is like to work at NASA such as building and driving rovers, testing plane designs in a wind tunnel, and tinkering with materials to test spacesuit design.
