Pick Your Visit

Chabot’s Field Trip experiences are sold in packages with spaces for up to 40 guests. Groups are welcome to book more than one package at a time. 

Space Adventure Mission Visit | $390 per package 

Space Adventure Mission Visits offer flexible scheduling and itineraries to accommodate both large and small groups, as well as preferred arrival times. 

  • Saturn Visit – Ideal for smaller groups who want to start the day with a Planetarium show. This visit works best for groups ready to arrive early and dive right into their adventure. Maximum capacity for this visit is 240 (or up to 6 visit packages). 
  • Mars Visit – Designed for groups who want a later start and or are coming from farther away. Check-in is available as late as 10:30 AM, making it a great option for groups with later schedules. Maximum capacity for this visit is 240 (or up to 6 visit packages). 
  • Neptune Visit – Perfect for larger groups or schools needing extra time for pre-show bathroom breaks and organization. Early check-in ensures a smooth start for groups who want a more relaxed arrival. Maximum capacity for this visit is 240 (or up to 6 visit packages).

 

Space Adventure Visit packages (Neptune, Mars and Saturn) may be purchased on the day of your arrival pending availability. It is recommended that you schedule a visit ahead of time, however, we will happily accommodate your group if we are able. Please arrive during the check in window (9:15AM – 10:30AM) or visit the Front Desk if you are dropping in for a Field Trip.  

Workshop Visits | $525 per package

Enhance your visit with a 60-minute private workshop led by our Science Educators. Each session is tailored to the grade level of your students and supports hands-on learning. Workshops accommodate up to 40 participants total, including students, chaperones, and teachers. 

With flexible scheduling and itineraries for both large and small groups, students can engage at a deeper level with themes and topics covered throughout the Center. When registering for a Workshop Visit be sure to select the workshop and your workshop schedule!

Making your reservation 

Field Trips occur weekly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 9:45 AM and 1:45 PM. Each itinerary includes time for check-in, a lunch break, and departure. You can reserve a Field Trip using our online request form. Please allow up to 14-days from the time of submission for your reservation to be finalized. 

Once your form is submitted, the listed contact person will receive an email confirming that the request was received. Please review the submission carefully, as this information will be used to create the reservation. 

After your reservation is processed and a date is assigned, you will receive a tentative confirmation email outlining your Field Trip details. You will then receive a reservation agreement, invoice, and payment authorization form via DocuSign. A $25 non-refundable deposit is required upon signing the agreement to confirm your reservation. 

Once Chabot receives the deposit and signed reservation agreement back, the reservations listed contact will receive a confirmation email with the finalized visit details, along with an updated invoice and payment authorization form for the remaining balance.  

 

Payment Information 

After receiving your field trip request form, you will be sent a reservation agreement and invoice via Docusign. To secure your reservation, a non-refundable $25.00 booking deposit is due at the time of signing your agreement. The $25.00 booking deposit will be applied to the total balance of the reservation. The full balance in the amount of the reservation must be paid at least 14 days prior to your visit. Reservations will be cancelled for groups that fail to submit the full payment or PO at least 14 days before the visit. 

Cancellation requests received with more than 14-days notice will receive a refund minus the $25 booking deposit. Visits canceled within 14-days notice will not be eligible for a refund.
