Can we eat lunch while we are there?

Do you have parking for buses?
Yes, but parking is limited. When booking please confirm how many buses you will be bringing with you.
How many chaperones should I bring?
It is recommended to assign each chaperone a designated group of students and provide each chaperone with a written list of students in that group. We recommend the following:
- One chaperone for every five students in grades 3–5
- One chaperone for every ten students in middle and high school.
- Chaperones must stay with their assigned group throughout the field trip. Adult chaperones are responsible for student conduct and behavior during their visit to the Center. Title I schools may book through Act One to receive free tickets and transportation. Visit Act One for more information.
