Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Logistics

How many participants can attend a group event at Little Beakers?

Little Beakers can accommodate up to 200 participants in one session, though capacity varies by location. Contact your preferred location for specific capacity details.

How do I book a field trip or group event?

Select your preferred location to view package pricing and book online, or call 1-833-KIDS-LAB (1-833-543-7522) to speak with our group events coordinator. We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for spring semester field trip season (February-May) when dates fill quickly.

What are your group event hours and scheduling options?
Group events are available by appointment only, typically scheduled during weekday mornings and early afternoons. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate school schedules, bus transportation, and group needs. Sessions can be scheduled back-to-back for larger schools splitting into multiple groups.
Do teachers and chaperones participate in the experiments?

No. Teachers and chaperones are there in a supervisory capacity only. Up to 20 teachers and/or chaperones are permitted entry in this capacity at no charge. An additional fee may be assessed for teachers and chaperones numbering more than 20. Check your preferred Little Beakers location for specifics.

Pricing & Scheduling

How much do group events and field trips cost?

Pricing varies by location, package type, and group size. Generally, per-student costs decrease for larger groups, and middle and high school packages cost more than standard sessions due to extended duration. We offer competitive educational pricing, and many schools use PTA funds, field trip budgets, or fundraising to cover costs. Select your preferred location for current package pricing.

What is your cancellation policy for group events?

Cancellation policies vary by location. We understand weather and illness affect schools—contact us as soon as possible if cancellation is necessary. Little Beakers reserves the right to cancel for emergencies with full refund provided.

Can we split our school into multiple sessions on the same day?
Yes! When needed, many schools book 2 sessions on the same day to accommodate larger enrollments or separate grade levels. We can schedule sessions back-to-back (typically 2 hours between start times to allow cleanup/reset) so multiple classes experience the lab. This works well for schools bringing 200+ students total. Contact us at 1-833-543-7522 to discuss scheduling multiple sessions.
Do you offer on-site events at our school or facility?

Yes! Little Beakers can bring portable lab equipment to your location for schools, community centers, or organizations unable to travel to our facilities. On-site programs include the same hands-on lab experience as an in-lab experience, with some adjustments depending on the package, time constraints and the area provided to us. On-site availability varies by location and demand, and pricing depends on a number of factors—click here now for a no-obligation quote to bring Little Beakers to you.

Program Details & Curriculum

How are Little Beakers field trips different from science shows?

Little Beakers provides hands-on science where every participant conducts their own experiments using real laboratory equipment, not passive demonstrations. Each child wears a lab coat and safety glasses and is encouraged to participate in putting forth hypotheses about scientific phenomena being covered, and to use reason and logic in following scientific methodology throughout the lab session. 2-4 experiments are completed depending on the package. This is authentic laboratory science, not entertainment, and aligns with NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) for meaningful learning outcomes.

Do you have programs for different grade levels?

Yes! We offer a variety of different hands-on science session packages for various age groups from PreK through high school. PreK and Elementary packages cover chemistry, physics, and biology concepts. Middle and high school packages build off of the Elementary level packages with additional dissection specimen options and introduce science challenge events. Regardless of package and its experiment content, discussion about and explanation of material is adapted to the grade level being taught. Select your preferred location to review group package offerings.

What scientific concepts do students learn during field trips?

As an example, our Hands-On Science Polymers & Explosions Session covers density, chemical reactions, states of matter, polymers, acids and bases, and Newton’s Laws through 4+ experiments. Dissection programs teach anatomy, microscopy, and comparative biology. All programs emphasize observation, hypothesis testing, and scientific thinking skills.

Are dissection programs appropriate for elementary students?

Dissection programs are led by trained scientists who guide students through proper scientific techniques with respect for specimens. We recommend dissections for ages 5+ but check with your preferred Little Beakers location for guidance. We can discuss appropriateness for your specific group, and we adapt instruction to maturity levels.

Special Programs

Can you accommodate corporate team building events?

Absolutely! Our Big Beakers team building programs accommodate 4-60 adult participants with hands-on science challenges, engineering competitions, and collaborative problem-solving activities. Corporate groups enjoy unique science challenges incorporating product research, development and marketing. Perfect for company outings, client entertainment, or team bonding. Contact your preferred Little Beakers location for more information on packages and pricing.

What happens if some students have allergies or special needs?
Please inform us of any allergies (especially latex for glove use during dissections) or special accommodations needed when booking. We can provide alternative materials, adjust activities, or work with teachers to ensure all students can participate safely. Our facilities are wheelchair accessible, and we’ve successfully accommodated students with various learning differences and physical needs.
