At the Missouri Botanical Garden, we strive to provide teachers and students with activities and field trip options that are as innovative as our grounds are beautiful! Featuring inquiry-based hands-on activities, knowledgeable instructors and fascinating plants, a field trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden is an educational experience your students will remember for a lifetime!
We welcome all school-age learners and invite you to request a guided visit led by Missouri Botanical Garden educators and volunteers or a self-guided visit, which allows you to lead your own students through the Garden. You may also request a virtual school tour where Missouri Botanical Garden instructors join your classroom online for a live experience with plants.
As availability is limited, we recommend that programs be reserved as far in advance as possible. Schools are welcome to book a trip to the Missouri Botanical Garden on Tuesdays–Fridays (Garden is closed on Mondays) throughout the year. For questions about programming or an existing program scheduled, email schoolprograms@mobot.org or call (314) 577-5185.
