In the case of an impending weather event (such as a blizzard, hurricane, etc), please contact us to provide alternate dates that you are able to attend in the case of a school delay or closing. If your organization officially closes or you are unable to attend for other weather related reasons, we will reschedule you to one of your selected dates.
Please contact us as soon as possible if you think you will have a delay or closing – the best way to reach us is through email: reservations@CTScienceCenter.org

When you are ready to book your trip, please submit a Reservation Request Worksheet.
Please note: If you are only looking to get a quote for a Field Trip, call or email the Reservation Center.

Please notify the Reservation Center about additional attendees as soon as possible to check if your group is able to attend all activities.
