Book a free field trip or tour to Worlds of Words! WOW’s unique collection of global children’s literature provides an interactive, educational and fun field trip. We offer hands-on experiences for groups of K-12 students, U of A classes and the public.
WOW staff may be able to create a customized field trip that fits the needs, abilities and study topics of your group.
Lead time is helpful so we can balance our schedule. We require 24 hours notice for cancellations.
Our K-12 field trips allow teachers to work with our coordinator to support classroom learning. K-12 field trips are available Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For in-person field trips, we require that schools provide chaperones in addition to the classroom teacher to assist with activities. The Center now offers virtual field trips as well! Just indicate your preference when submitting your request.
We love showing off our resources with the community! We create two to three new exhibits of original illustrations from published picturebooks each year. We receive frequent requests for us to update groups on our programs as we always have something going on for teachers, students of all ages and families. We also provide group and individual tours of the collection. Of course, if you just want to visit, there is no need to plan in advance. Worlds of Words is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, except major holidays and special occasions.
