Field Trips & Group Rates

The Baraboo Children’s Museum is a popular place not only for families, but for field trips and large gatherings as well!

To receive a group rate, approval must be obtained at least 48 hours prior to the date of entry to ensure proper staffing.

Groups arriving without approval will be required to pay full price for all guests.

We have a refrigerator that can accommodate a limited amount of items and a standard sized microwave to warm items up.
