Field Trips
How much lake science can be taught at a 30-minute station? At the Lilly Center, quite a bit!
The Lilly Center offers indoor and outdoor field trips for preschool-through-high school level students. All field trips are hands-on and experiential, as well as age-appropriate. They are crafted to meet Indiana and Next Generation Science Standards.

Using place-based learning to connect kids to their local environment, all field trips give teachers access to helpful learning tools.
- In-house programming leads students through hands-on science experiments, combines creativity and ecosystem dynamics with our virtual aquarium, and connects classes with our aquatic critters in our lobby aquariums.
- Outdoor programming leads students through well-kept trails close the Lilly Center’s building, including a dock by a pond.
