Booking a Field Trip
Select a Date
Our showtimes are Monday-Thursday from 9:30 am-1:30 pm.
Friday show times are 9:30 am and 1:30 pm.
Our field trip events start on the half-hour and last 45 minutes. Each event consists of the show title you select, a live presentation on the current night sky (that is the stars and constellations visible at 9pm of the day you attend), and a virtual roller coaster ride (see note below regarding late arrival). Seating and dismissal takes about 15 minutes more. Teachers should allow about 1 hour for each show.
Schools are asked to arrive 30 minutes or more prior to show time, to allow for bathroom breaks and such.
Note For Late Arrivals: If your school is late, time constraints may require us to shorten your events by foregoing extras such as the roller coaster. Consider travel time, road conditions, traffic, etc. before booking show time
Attendance
We require a minimum of 20 paid tickets to book a reservation. Free tickets do not count against the minimum.
Note for Small Groups (less than 20): We accept reservations for groups less than 20 only as follows:
- Book into a show already scheduled by another school, in which case you only pay for actual attendance, or
- Pay for the minimum 20 tickets even if actual attendance is less than 20
Call us at (254) 526-1768 to see if the date and time you want is available.

- You may include school chaperones and bus drivers in your teacher count.
- Home schools - only the teacher or parent booking is free.
- Special needs groups may have as many teachers tickets as they feel necessary.
Tax : Sales tax is not included in price.
- We automatically exclude tax for public schools that are part of a Texas ISD.
- Private, christian, charter, homes schools - bring your Texas Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certification form. Otherwise, you will be taxed at 8.25%.
- Parents, guests, siblings, etc. who pay for themselves are taxed (8.25%).
Notes for Parents and Guests: Guests are admitted space available, meaning that we seat all school kids and teachers (including other schools) before selling to parents and guests. This means that:
- Parents and guests are not guaranteed a seat and should call beforehand to check availability.
- Even if seats are available, they may not be next to their child.
- Schools that open filed trips to parents can include parents and guests in their attendance (which guarantees them seats). At showtime, we will delete their tickets and they pay for themselves.
Coupons are not accepted for school groups.
