Our themed packages take the work out of planning a field trip. Simply choose your topic and let us do the rest. \n\nTeachers also have the exclusive opportunity to choose the most appropriate films for their class with our Teacher\u2019s Choice and Planetarium Picks for Educators programs in the Wortham Giant Screen Theatre and the Burke Baker Planetarium.\n\nAll Field Trips require a 3 week notice. Inquiries made within a 3 week time period may not be fulfilled.\n<\/div>\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-body-title body-bold\">About Our Packages<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-section\"><p>All of our packages are TEKS-aligned and give your students the opportunity to become active participants in their learning. Packages are available Monday &ndash; Friday during the school year on a first-come, first-serve basis and fill quickly, so schedule early to ensure your spot. If your program of choice is unavailable, we will make every effort to create a similar itinerary that will accommodate your needs.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<a
