Are your students learning about local water quality and water health? Learn about our Water Passport Program!

ATTENTION! There are no more dates open for field trips for the 2022-2023 academic year. We are now only scheduling field trips for the 2023-2024 academic year!  

Field trips are conducted between 10AM and 1PM Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Every visit will include a nature hike through prairie, wetland, and woodland habitats. Special after-school accommodations can be made with clubs or Scouts troops; with a start time no later then 4:30pm. Many of MNP’s trails are ADA compliant.

Be prepared to get outside! Unless the weather absolutely terrible, we will be getting outside for a 2 mile hike, so be dressed appropriately!

Field trips are free of charge for all schools. Donations toward programming are appreciated, but never expected. Our Bus Scholarship Program is reserved for those schools in need of roundtrip bus transportation fees for schools within the Milwaukee Public School system’s boundaries. If you think your school is eligible, talk to Marianne.
