  • Advance registration is required for all groups of 10 or more.
  • Field trips are confirmed and processed after we have received your completed registration form and payment in full. You may hold a date with a credit card and make payment for the field trip on or before the day of the trip. This process requires a credit card number and signed authorization that if payment is not received, or if the trip is canceled less than 30 days prior to the date reserved, the credit card will be billed according to our cancellation policy.
  • Date requests are processed and assigned in the order that payment or payment guarantee is received.
  • Checks and money orders should be made payable to Kohl Children’s Museum.
  • Confirmation letters and information packets will be mailed when registration is complete.
  • Group size is final after the field trip request is processed.
  • The Museum has limited field trip slots and space.
  • We CANNOT offer refunds or balance due adjustments for absent children after the reservation form is submitted. You may bring up to 5 children more than the number you made reservations for, and pay for them on the day of your trip.
  • Field trip fees are applied to all children, including Museum members.

Call (847) 832-6923 with any questions related to your registration.

Chaperones

  • A minimum of 1 chaperone (age 18 or older) for every 5 children is required.
  • Chaperones are free up to 1 chaperone for every 3 children.
  • Additional chaperones will be charged $6.50 each.

Cancellation and Change Policy

Because the Museum is in high demand for visiting groups, we must limit the number of groups scheduled on any given day. Therefore, if your plans change, we ask that you cancel, reschedule, or change the number of children in your group well in advance of your visit.

Refunds or reductions in amount due will be awarded for field trip cancellations or changes based upon when the Museum is notified:

  • More than 30 days in advance: Full refund
  • Less than 30 days in advance: No refund
