Free field trips are offered over seven weeks in May and June in partnership with the USask Science Departments, Science Outreach, quanTA, the Museum of Antiquities, and the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society. Join us for hands-on activities and tours at the Museum of Natural Sciences, in teaching laboratories, and at other campus cultural facilities. Field trip topics include paleontology, geology, biology, astronomy, math, chemistry, physics, archeology, geography, psychology, and antiquities.

Registration for the field trip program will open in March 2026 and programs book up quickly. If you would like to be notified about when we will go live with registration, contact us at museum.naturalsciences@usask.ca to be added to our e-news list or follow us on social media.

The Museum of Natural Sciences is free. Visitors, including school and preschool groups, do not need to book in advance. To help make the most of your visit, we have some resources including scavenger hunts that you can print for your students. The museum and adjacent washrooms are wheelchair accessible, but some of the museum's displays and exhibits may be harder to view.

Please note that the museum is located near working classrooms, labs, offices, and study spaces. We also have many artifacts that are fragile and valuable and loud noises or tapping on the glass enclosures will scare the animals. Please do not run or use loud voices and be respectful of others in the museum and in nearby spaces. Children must be supervised by adults.

If you are coming by school bus, the best drop-off and pick-up location is 112 Science Place at the Collaborative Sciences Research Building. Due to the construction underway near the museum, you will then need to follow the detour signs the take you to the museum around the outside of the buildings. If you need it, there is bus parking at Lot 20 near Merlis Belsher Place. Another option for getting here is the free Saskatoon Transit Class Trip Program.
