To explore – here.
Dallas Arboretum is not cheap but a field trip makes it less than half price! Finding out group size needed to coordinate that.
Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas is free first Saturday of the month, and kids under 12 are always free.
And don’t forget most art museums in Fort Worth are free on Tuesdays and the Dallas Museum of Art is free the first Tuesday each month.
Thanks to Jessica I discovered a lot of these places have free field trips, most if you give at least 3 weeks notice. Hooray!
Here’s the info for the Free Nasher Field Trips that require 3 weeks notice but it does say that there is only one free chaperone admission per five kids of school age.
Dallas Museum of Art FREE preschool art class, 90 minutes long and held Tuesday through Friday at 10am, one chaperone per 10 kids and minimum group size of ten kids. (I’m guessing adults pay besides the one chaperone but easy to just split the price of the adult ticket, I’ll check on that.) Includes class and museum admission. Link here. It is for kids 3 to 5 years.
DMA and Nasher are also both free for field trips and I think (you would have to double check) they will do a field trip with a group of at least 5 kids. 🙂 DMA is also considering offering homeschooling days, but they aren’t sure if there would be enough interest. Nasher has some great homeschool programs.
I’m so glad you told me that, thank you! I’m going to go find out group size since between my sister and me we have 7 kids Pre-K through 3rd grade. 🙂
