Planning your visit

Educators may book field trips for their students with a $5.00 per-group service charge. They must book their trips by calling The Leonardo’s group sales department at (801) 220-1100.

Although we welcome patrons of all ages, BODY WORLDS 3 at The Leonardo is recommended for children 10 years and older. Please carefully consider our content advisory and family guide before bringing younger children.

Organized youth groups other than schools will be priced at the regular group rate.

Chaperones and permissions

The Leonardo requires at least one chaperone for every 10 children—please ensure that your school group will meet this ratio.

The Leonardo is pleased to offer free admission for adults accompanying school groups at the ratio of 1 chaperone for every 8 children. Please inform our education reservations department at (801) 220-1100 how many chaperones will be accompanying your field trip.

If a school trip brings more than one chaperone for every 8 students, the additional adults are invited to purchase tickets for $20.50 each.

The Leonardo is not requiring permission slips to view the exhibit, but it offers a sample permission form in the Educators Guide.

FIELD TRIP DETAILS

School groups receive a $2 discount on audio guide rentals ($3 per student). There are no guided school tours of the exhibit.

BODY WORLDS 3 is a timed-entry exhibition. School groups must check in 30 minutes prior to their entry time to allow adequate time for orientation and processing.

Lunch space is available for our visiting school groups. Lunch times will be allotted to groups for a designated period (normally about 30 minutes) and are subject to availability. Please request a lunchroom reservation when you book your field trip.

Secured storage is available in the museum for school groups to store coats and lunches. Access to your assigned storage area will be given only to the group's leader.

Be sure to download the Educator Guide which includes more information on planning your visit, field trip guidelines, and exhibit overview and more. To maximize your students' experiences, download the Classroom Activity Guide, which includes pre- and post-visit materials organized by grade level. The Student Guide is also available and contains information about Plastination, tips on what to look for in the exhibition and cool facts about the human body. Free DVDs are also available for educators by contacting The Leonardo's education reservations department at (801) 220-1100.
