The IGFA at the International Fishing Hall of Fame offers fun and educational field trips to schools. Your group is admitted into the museum at a discounted price and if your teacher has been to a Teacher Workshop and is IGFA Certified, you get an even bigger discount! Educational Programs for school groups are available and will be discussed individually. Through hands-on displays and games throughout the museum, guests will be educated on the importance of conservation through sport fishing and biology.

                 Planning Your Field Trip

Before contacting IGFA, have a couple of field trip dates in mind. Know approximately how many children and chaperones will be attending and if you are going to partake in an Educational Program or Self-Guided Tour. If your classes are going to enjoy the one-hour lab programs, keep in mind IGFA can only have 30 children per lab and a maximum of four labs per day. A 1:10 chaperone to student ratio is required, a 1:5 ratio is allowed; these chaperones are free. When you contact IGFA, a staff member will review the calendar and help you reserve a date.
