Group Visits & Field Trips

The Washington Pavilion is the perfect destination for your next field trip!

Imagine your students interacting with 3 floors of over 80 hands on Science Exhibits, everything from a touchable tornado to a rock climbing wall, all while meeting your Science Standards! View an educational and entertaining film on our 60 foot domed Cine Dome screen or tour the 6 galleries of our Visual Arts Center. Engage students with a professional production in our Great Hall, or encourage their inner paleontologist or crime scene investigator with one of our Discovery Labs. All of this and much more can be accomplished with a visit to the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science!

Washington Pavilion members visiting as part of an organized group (i.e. school field trip, adult tour group), may not use their membership privileges for that visit. This policy has been established so that we may provide a significant discount and additional services for organized groups. No other discounts, coupons, or rebates will apply.
