Field Trips
Hours of fun and fascination await you at the Orange County Regional History Center! Find out how Central Florida’s history mirrors much of our nation’s past – explore three floors of exhibitions at our 67,000-square-foot history museum. Fully experiencing the History Center is more than just viewing historical artifacts in a gallery. We offer exhibitions, tours, and programs that trace our region’s roots back 12,000 years in unique ways.

Your Field Trip
At the History Center, groups are led by a knowledgeable docent on a journey through the exhibitions. During the tour, students experience demonstrations, hands-on activity stations, and interaction with their guide. All tours include a presentation by a costumed actor portraying a historical character and a mock trial in Courtroom B. Special exhibitions and limited-time programs may also be offered throughout the year.

Cost
A two-hour guided tour(one-and-a-half hour for pre-K through 1st grade)$6 per student. Minimum number of students: 10.
