School Field Trips
The Randall Museum offers interactive programs emphasizing science, the natural environment,
and San Francisco history for kindergarten (age 5) through senior citizen groups. Preschool
groups are welcome to schedule
self-guided tours via Brown Paper Tickets.
Academic year programs are self-scheduling by the teacher through our partnership
with the ticketing service - Brown Paper Tickets. If you are a teacher looking for a field trip
for your class, please visit

Field Trip Fees
The Randall Museum charges for our field trip programs.
Fortunately, we have received funding from foundations and members of the
Randall Museum Friends to offset half the cost of the trips for public schools
only. Prices for public schools are $45 for Science programs and $20 for
Animal Presentations. Private schools will pay full price: $85 for
Science programs and $40 for Animal Presentations. Class size maximums are
30 children for all programs. Self-guided tours are available at a cost of
$15 per group, with a maximum of 30 per group.
Brown Paper Tickets charges a small purchasing fee of 2.5 percent of
the transaction. There is no cancellation policy. Tickets
purchased cannot be refunded.
The Randall Museum is committed to giving all children the opportunity to visit
and learn at the Randall Museum. We appreciate your understanding about
our new fees.
