What is the cost of a field trip?
Student Cost: $15 to $20 per student (final cost determined by the distance of your location)
Booking Fee (Non-refundable): A $200 non-refundable fee is required to secure your chosen date. This fee will be credited towards the total cost of your field trip.
Minimum Enrollment: A minimum of 25 students is required per event, resulting in a minimum charge of $500.
How many children can participate?
Our field trips can accommodate up to 150 participants, with a maximum of 50 children per session. For larger groups, we offer the option of scheduling multiple sessions or extending the duration of the field trip.
How long is a Wonderboxed session?
Small group student sessions run for 90–120 minutes, with the length adjusted based on the age group and program. For schools with 100 or more students, a full-day booking is available, providing the flexibility for multiple rotations of different classes or groups.
Where do you travel?
We serve schools and organizations within Central Florida; however, we also travel based on request, and travel fees apply.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.
Is there a booking fee? How do I book a Wonderboxed experience?
Yes, there is a non-refundable booking fee of $200, which secures your date and is applied to the total field trip cost.
Please note that you will retain $200 from the field trip funds you collect as reimbursement for the booking fee.
What do we need to provide?
We will bring all necessary STEM materials. You will need to supply 10 circular or rectangular tables and a suitable space (such as a classroom, gym, or multipurpose room) large enough for 50 students.
Do you work with homeschool groups or community programs?
Yes! We’re happy to partner with homeschool co-ops, community organizations, and other educational groups.
What happens if we need to reschedule?
If you need to reschedule, contact us as soon as possible. Your booking fee will transfer to the new date (subject to availability).
