Book a field trip

Adventure awaits.

Cost

Guided Field Trips are free for all schools within the Birmingham City and Jefferson County School systems.

Field trips for schools outside of these systems are priced at $13.00 per student and non-teacher chaperone with a minimum cost of $250 for a guided trip. Teachers and teacher aides always enjoy complimentary admission.

Self-Guided Field Trips require a $100 reservation fee. This fee reserves your spot and prevents overbooking, covers parking costs, grants access to the outdoor pavilion and entry to the Nature Center* exhibits (*specific to Ruffner Mountain location only).

Please note that self-guided field trips are only allowed at Ruffner Mountain and Red Mountain Park.

Cancellation Policy

  • Please provide a 48-hour notice prior to cancellation
  • All programs canceled with less than a 48-hour notice or without rescheduling will be charged a $200 cancellation fee
