Schools
The Full Museum or a Dino Squad visit is the most optimal for your kids to get the complete experience one or two classes at a time for a class period. Grade Levels can be mixed, just let us know.
For really large groups multi day residences are available) The museum visits are customized to your needs.)
Traveling Dinos is self contained, you supply the space, the tables, coordinate your groups, and we do the rest! (We come in to set up the day before, and sometimes load out the day after.)
For the smaller exhibits of Dino Squad and The Sea Monster Adventure, please check their particulars.
How Much Does it Cost to Bring in the Museum?
Inviting Traveling Dinos is a great opportunity for your kids to have an epic adventure within your building!
For Schools, that means no buses, liability, lunch planning, and hassles. For Performing Arts Centers, Libraries, Parks and Rec./ Community Centers and more, it is a way to serve your community without the need for hours of travel to have this experience.
We understand that group needs vary and we work with you to create a quote that meets the needs of your kiddos and families based on your group size, number of sessions and travel location. Speaking of travel, we travel anywhere in the continental US from our home base in NC, and can accommodate any size group!
The Museum Fee is quite doable when you look at the cost per child and we'll provide options of the full museum, plus the more economical Dino Squad and Sea Monster Adventure, perfect for many budgets. (Info below)
You may want to add a Family Involvement Scavenger Hunt in the evening with the full museum, and/or Extra Visit Days, both of which are very reasonable add-ons to the main daylong visit.
(Travel is built in to the cost and based on location.)
(Note: When we visit with you we have: pre-visit prep, travel from NC, load in and set up, the actual visit, break down and load out, then travel home, so it's a full work week or more devoted to your visit. That's perfectly OK, because this is what we do, and we love doing it!)
We'll work up a proposal that’s personalized for your group to create a wonderful customized event just for you!
(Part of the proceeds of every visit go towards maintaining and growing the collection and museum infrastructure.)
Want Something for Smaller Rooms, More Economical and Great?
The New Touring Exhibit Options
Expedition: Dino Squad features the fossils, models, paleo art, and great books just like the mother museum, it focuses on four iconic dinosaurs: T. Rex, Triceratops, Long Neck Sauropods, and the Velociraptor.
The Sea Monster Adventure was developed and presented dozens of times over this past Summer, The Sea Monster Adventure Exhibit is a hit with kids and adults alike! The Exhibit is a smaller unit created from Traveling Dinos. It is great for a class and/or a grade level, and perfect to include when studying: An Ocean Unit, Sea Life, Prehistoric Life, Mysteries of the Ocean or because it’s just plain Cool!
Both are fantastic, economical options, with faster load in and load out times and we love presenting them!

As You are Planning This Event,
Here are some Helpful Funding Ideas That Work:
(All of these ideas have been used successfully by other schools)
Something Novel: “Dollars for Dinos” is a really awesome fundraiser that some of our Michigan Schools have done to bring us in. No wrapping paper or candy involved, and they often raise enough to not only bring in the Museum, but to fund other things as well. Because there is a specific goal, it becomes a school community supported event with donations (and many grandparents donate more to not have to deal with the candy or wrapping paper.) Maybe this would work for you.
Title 1, with the museum's strong book focus, many schools have brought us in through Title 1.
Both with parent involvement during the day, and especially for after school or evening parent involvement.
Per Student Field Trip Fee
If you have a larger student body, look at cost per child, which often makes it very affordable. It’s also ok to cobble the funds together form additional resources.
Book Fairs - Traveling Dinos has a great book tie in, both in the beginning Welcome and with the Dinobrary/Seabrary. Mark’s decades long work bringing children’s books to life is a big part of our mission.
Grants & Sponsors -
STEM Grants
Community Foundation Grants (Tami has experience with this, if you have a local foundation, ask her for tips.)
PTO/PTA is a great resource and supporter
And sometimes a combo of the above is just the right recipe for success!
Note: Based on our travel schedule, you'll always hear from us within 24 to 48 hours. (aside from Holidays) If you haven't noticed a reply please check your spam folder. Thanks!
