School Tours & Field Trips
School Tour – a 45 minute scheduled, guided tour through AGVENTURE, presented by Oxy in NRG Center
Field Trip – completely self-guided and at your own time and pace
Both School Tours and Field Trips may visit the rest of the Rodeo grounds, including Fun on the Farm and The Junction, on their own. Access to NRG Stadium, including the rodeo and concert, is not included for either type. Ticket packets are sent out in February.
Please note that the School Tours and Field Trip program is separate from the Special Children’s Committee Day Tours. For more information on tours for individuals with special needs, please click here.
COST
Complimentary admission tickets to the Houston Livestock Show are provided for school children and a limited number of chaperones. To ensure as many children as possible are able to participate, we limit the number of complimentary adult tickets to an adult to children ratio of 1:8. If your group requires more than the recommended adults, you may purchase general admission tickets at the gate or online for $21.
PARKING
Parking passes are provided for official school buses only. Private cars and other vehicles may park in the Yellow Lot off Main Street. The fee to park in the Yellow Lot is $25 per car; free tram service is available from the Yellow Lot to the NRG Park entrance. Parking also may be purchased at various other locations. Any bus without a parking pass will be redirected to the Green Lot off Lantern Point. The fee for a bus to park in Green Lot is $50 per bus and is subject to availability.
