Book a field trip

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 $13.00 per chaperone once a 10:1 student:teacher ratio is met, 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 serves several purposes: it 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.
