Step 1: Plan your visit.

Select the type of visit for your group. Choose which one is right for you!
• Field Trip with a program: This includes your choice of an educational program that is aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning, NAEYC Standards and Foundation Blocks for Early Learning plus unlimited museum time.
• Field Trips without a program: This includes unlimited museum exploration time.

Select at least 3 dates and list them in order of preference. Reservations must be made at least 2 weeks in advance.
Then prepare the following information:
- Total number of children
- Number of adults (a ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children is required)

Step 2: Contact CMoR to register your group.

Complete our Field Trip Registration Form or contact Alma Cheyne, Group Education Coordinator at (804)474-7015 or acheyne@c-mor.org

Step 3: Plan Accordingly

Upon registering your group, a group confirmation letter will be sent to your e-mail. The confirmation letter will display the date of your visit, number of students, adults and the total balance due.

Payment is due upon arrival. Special exceptions can be made under certain circumstances.
In addition to the confirmation letter, the Group Education Coordinator will also send you the following documents for your records:
- Lockdown Procedures
- Chaperone Ways to Play
- Arrival Policies and Procedures Document
- Souvenir Bag Order Form
What is a Souvenir Bag? These bags were developed for convenience and are suitable for any school-aged child. Items in the Souvenir bags have been specially selected and are designed to relieve the stressful “the bus is leaving in five minutes!” gift shop visit.

Step 4: Confirmation of visit

One week prior to your visit, you will receive an e-mail and phone call from the Group Education Coordinator to confirm your visit. Please provide an updated total for the number of children and adults that will be attending the trip. Museum memberships, coupons and tickets do not apply toward field trip admission costs.

Step 5: Arrival Policies and Procedures

Groups are to enter through the museum’s Group Entrance. When facing the museum, these doors are located on the left side – next to Terminal Drive.

The Group Education Coordinator will greet the reservation contact or lead teacher and will collect a final head count of students and adults and will process your group’s payment.
All groups will be greeted by a museum educator. The museum educator will show your group where to store belongings and will present an orientation. If your group is scheduled for a program, the museum educator will confirm the program schedule with the lead teacher.

Step 6: Enjoy your visit!

If you have any questions or concerns during your field trip, please feel free to contact Alma Cheyne, Group Education Coordinator at 474-7012 or stop by the Guest Services Desk.

Due to the design of the museum and its exhibits, we are unable to accommodate groups with children over 10 years of age.
