Field Trips

The University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum is a teaching and research facility of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the site of historic research in ecological restoration.

The University of Wisconsin–Madison Lakeshore Nature Preserve is a 300-acre nature reserve along 4 miles of the southern shore of Lake Mendota. Field trips to the  Preserve can be an important part of their curricula, treating it as an extension of the classroom learning.

The Museum  focuses on Wisconsin geology and its mining history. While you’re having lots of hands-on, interactive fun, you’ll discover that there were once volcanoes, mountains, and tropical reefs right here in Wisconsin. In fact, you’ll learn that every rock tells a story, and you can learn how to read them for yourself! Admission by donation.

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum is a maritime museum in the Lake Michigan port and shipbuilding city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, U.S. It preserves and teaches about the maritime history of the Great Lakes and Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Science Museum connects visitors to the research happening right here in Wisconsin. Through our hands-on experiences and unique historic instruments, we show that even the greatest scientific discoveries began with simple questions and a little determination.
