How to Read the Availability Tables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green<\/span><\/strong> indicates that there are no current reservations for that date\/time and it is available.
Yellow<\/strong> <\/span>indicates another group has reserved the date\/time but there is still room (the number shown is the available seats).
Red<\/span><\/strong> indicates that the date\/time is already fully reserved and is not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you choose your date\/time and confirm that it is available for your group size, return to the “School Field Trips” webpage and click on the “Request a Reservation” button to begin your reservation request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
