FIELD TRIP TESTIMONIALS

"We could not be more pleased with our experience at Lexington Children's Museum! We brought a group of 1-4 grade gifted students. They were engaged the entire time. The time allotted in each section was just enough to keep their attention. The hands on exhibits had them enthralled!"

Our school is a small private school for special needs and at risk kiddos. Our students enjoyed every minute of our time spent at the Lexington Children's Museum. They enjoyed role playing in the downstairs area. They especially enjoyed the court room. It is difficult for our students to role play but they succeeded at calling order in the court!! Also, we have been studying the planets so your glow in the dark room with the planet wall was a great place for us to stop for a mini lesson!!! We will definitely plan a yearly field trip in the future!!!!

Our kids absolutely loved it! We have families going back with their child over our spring break next week. We will definitely make this a yearly field trip for 1st grade!

We brought a group of 32 Summer Campers with us from our facility. We were greeted right away when we walked into the door, the lady that greeted us was very nice and had good leadership. Going over the rules with the kids was great to see and the schedule was a good time frame for our kids. They knew what they were doing and ran it very well, especially by communicating with us. They were patient with our hyper kiddos and the whole staff made it a great experience for the kids.

The Lexington Children's Museum was the perfect field trip for my special education class! The staff was extremely helpful, patient, and accommodating for my students. The museum was clean, exciting, and they loved it!
