Field trips are scheduled for two hours only. This includes lunch if your visit is during the lunch hour. Students are welcome to bring lunches or purchase food from the food vendors. Space can be provided for coolers or storage of meals, but TGA can not guarantee the security of the items. Any purchases made during the festival are by coupon only, and there are no refunds available, so students should only purchase the number of coupons they need.

Thursday field trips are restricted to 3rd
grade and younger on any shift between 9 and 11 a.m. This is to provide the younger students with access to the exhibits without having to compete with older students. Grades 4 and older can be scheduled on Thursday beginning at 11:00. Friday is an open day.

In order to provide the students with access to the exhibitors, field-trip numbers are restricted. We schedule field trips in 15 minute blocks with no more than 350 students admitted every 15 minutes.

Reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis. In order to guarantee your spot, a check or a copy of a purchase order must be received by October 15th, 2006. If a check or P.O. is not received by this date, the space will be opened back up for reservations.

The cost of the field trip is calculated per student. The admission cost is $3 per student. Each class is allowed one adult chaperone free for every seven students. If additional chaperones accompany the group, they will be charged $4 (the regular adult admission.) A chaperone is someone that you bring with you, not someone we provide. This cost does not include transportation. Schools need to make arrangements for transportation on their own.

After making a reservation, you will receive a confirmation letter from Tulsa Global Alliance. Requests for payment will be sent in September of 2006 and instruction packets will be distributed in early November.
