How to Book
Review the program description and select “Book Now.” On the calendar, you will select the date and time for your program, add the booking fee of $25.00 to your “cart,” tell us about your group in a brief form, and complete the transaction to confirm your reservation.
Group Size
Field trips are designed for one class, or up to 30 students, at a time. We recommend a ratio of at least one (1) adult per seven (7) youth participants. We may be able to accommodate two classes at a time during some time slots, subject to staff availability. To inquire, email [email protected].
One at a Time, Please
Each program must be booked individually (i.e. one person is not able to book for multiple groups in the same transaction).
Availability
Field trip time slots are made available on a rolling basis. If the dates you are interested in are not yet open, check back again and join our mailing list (at the bottom of this page) for alerts.
To book a self-guided visit instead of an educator-guided program, review the description and guidelines and complete the group visit request form.
Upon booking, you’ll receive an initial confirmation showing a $0 balance. You will receive a second confirmation email showing the updated outstanding balance based on your school’s Title 1 status. Invoices can be provided upon request.
Payment is due by the date of your program or visit (in advance or when you arrive). We accept cash, credit card, DOE Purchase Orders, and school-issued checks (no personal checks).
To pay in advance of your visit:
JACKIE ROBINSON MUSEUM EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
75 VARICK STREET, 2nd FLOOR
NEW YORK, NY 10013

Photo Release Form Instructions:
Please note:
Completing the photo release form is not required for students to attend the program. We can be sure to avoid photographing any students who do not have signed forms.
We do not have a lunch facility and encourage guests not to bring food or drink into the Museum.
However, if you need to bring student lunches, they can be stored with student backpacks and/or coats and picked up again at the end of the program. Freeman Plaza East is one block away from the Museum and Hudson River Greenway is a 10 minute walk from the Museum.
We do not budget time for gift shop browsing in your program time. If you would like to provide an opportunity for students to purchase a souvenir, we recommend doing so online at Shop42.org.
If you would like to allow students to visit the store following the program, teachers and chaperones will be responsible for student supervision and depending on your group size, you may be asked to divide into smaller groups as space in the shop is limited. Please let our staff know in advance if you would like to do so.
