Make the MESS Hall a part of your home education plans. From homeschool workshops to field trips at our venue, we offer programming to enrich your learner’s science experiences.

Homeschool Field Trips

A MESS Hall field trip is an opportunity to engage in a special topic with other homeschool learners. Dive deep into different topics each month and get your scientific brain going.

Recommended ages 6+. Preregistration required. $13 per learner ages 3-18 per field trip. (Because this is a separate program from general visitation, the fee is required for all, including members.)
