We allow a maximum of 64 students per field trip at our Genius Gems NYC location. This ensures we can provide an optimal experience for every guest. If you would like to bring more students, please email us at information@geniusgems.com.

At least 15 students in a school group are required for a field trip to Genius Gems. To qualify as a school group, you must belong to an educational organization (K – 12) and make advance reservations. If you have fewer than 15 students, please contact us at information@geniusgems.com to discuss your specific needs.

One adult chaperone for every 5 students is required, and additional chaperones are welcome! There is no charge for adult chaperones.

Field trips may be paid for in advance by mailing a check (see instructions below), or on the day of the trip. If you choose to pay on the day of the trip, Genius Gems will accept school district checks, credit cards, or cash. If you would like to pay using a purchase order, you must reach out to us in advance to confirm if this is possible for your group. Once your reservation is confirmed, please make checks out to Genius Gems Chelsea LLC, and mail or submit checks to: Genius Gems Chelsea, Attn: Jennifer Romanoff, 555 6th Avenue, New York, NY 10011. Thank you!

If you need to reschedule your trip, you must email us at least 2 weeks in advance. We can do a one time reschedule, subject to availability, for no additional cost if we have at least 2 weeks advance notice.

If you cancel less than 2 weeks before your scheduled trip, you will lose any payment that was made towards the trip. In addition, if you or your school would like to book another trip in the future, payment will be required in full at least 2 weeks prior to your visit, otherwise we may not be able to accommodate your group.

Fewer Students Show Up:
If fewer students show up than initially booked, Genius Gems will charge for the number of students confirmed one week prior to the field trip.

Refunds or credits will not be provided for no-shows on the day of the visit, as resources and staffing are allocated based on the confirmed number.

More Students Show Up:
If more students show up than initially booked, Genius Gems will accommodate them if space and resources permit.The school will be invoiced for the additional students, and payment must be made on the day of the trip or as per prior arrangement.
