Scheduling
Group visits can be scheduled between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm Tuesdays through Fridays. Saturday programs may be reserved by special arrangement.

Depending on the number in your group, we may schedule one or more additional groups in the same time period, though we make every effort to schedule groups of similar age range.

Confirmation
Once a field trip has been scheduled, you will receive a confirmation letter. Please review your letter and alert us to any discrepancies.

Chaperones
We require one adult for every four children under age 6 and one adult for every six children age 6 and over. Adult chaperones within this ratio are admitted free.

Additional chaperones may accompany your group but they will be charged at the group visit rate.

Teachers and chaperones are required to wear identification badges while in the museum.

Pre-Visit
We encourage educators and group leaders to visit our museum prior to your field trip in order to review the exhibits, facilities and program so you have the opportunity to prepare your curriculum.

Accessibility
Imagine Nation is 100% ADA compliant and special-needs friendly. An elevator is available to gain access to all floors.

Parking
Imagine Nation has plenty of free parking available. Our parking lot is accessible from Upson Street (which parallels Pleasant Street). Nearby additional parking can be reserved for larger groups. Please inquire.

Buses can offload students in the museum parking lot or at the museum entrance (at the corner of Pleasant Street and Church Street). Please use our front entrance to enter the museum.

Payment
A deposit of 50% must be made prior to your visit in order to confirm your reservation.

Final payment is expected at the time of your visit. A check payable to “Imagine Nation Children’s Museum” is preferred. The exact amount will be figured based on the number of students and chaperones attending at that time.

Cancellations must be made within 48 hours of the scheduled start time of your visit. For cancellations made within 48 hours of the visit, your deposit will be forfeited or you may re-schedule your visit at another available date and time.

Gift Shop
We invite groups to visit our gift shop where a variety of fun and educational toys and games can be found. If your visit is during non-public hours, please request that the giftshop be open if desired.

Soda Fountain
Our museum features an original 1940’s soda fountain which serves ice cream cones, sundaes, and other treats. Please notify us to review pricing and selections if you would like to offer your group this option either at lunch or as an end-of-program treat.

Indoor eating facilities are available. Please discuss this option prior to your arrival so that we may reserve this area and make appropriate preparations.
