Educational Tours

School trips to New York City are a great way to have students discover this fantastic metropolis.

 carefully planned educational tours to New York City for middle and high school student groups. We have seen them all, and there are none better.

Students on New York City field trips ( pictured right in Times Square ) will also visit American icons that they’ve been learning about since they started opening books, including the Statue of Liberty ,  Rockefeller Center ,  Central Park , the Empire State Building , as well as  Ellis Island , the September 11 Memorial , the World Trade Center , and many other places of cultural and historical significance.

Visit New York has a series of carefully planned itineraries for three and four day educational tours to New York City. They have been consciously crafted, based on the interests, attention spans and feeding habits of tens of thousands of middle and high school students on its trips over 30 years. Field trips goals are to promote learning and bonding, while giving the students the most out of every minute spent at the destination (but without running them or their adult chaperones ragged).

One of the bets tips we can recommend is the use of New York City’s top, licensed, professional guides. They are hired for their ability to engage, educate and entertain middle and high school students. School groups should always be accommodated in clean and safe first-class hotels that have been inspected and re-inspected by senior management.  Every activity and virtually every meal in every restaurant has been checked and rechecked to make sure that each group’s experience is positive, educational, memorable and consistent.

If there are better educational tour programs anywhere, Visit New York has never seen one.

NYC School Field Trip Itinerary

Among the hundreds of school trips we’ve coordinated transportation for,  New York City  remains one of the top destinations. It’s an epicenter of culture, history, and entertainment that’s perfect for middle-school students all the way to high-school seniors.

Not sure which of NYC’s sites to prioritize on your next  class trip ? We’ve compiled a list below of our customers’ must-see attractions, museums, restaurants and more to make your trip planning simpler.

Book with us for an easy and stress-free experience on your next trip.

Getting to (and through) NYC by Charter Bus

Though some schools we work with are within driving distance from the big city, most groups fly into  John F. Kennedy  or  LaGuardia  Airport. Because New York has such limited parking, most hotels near the heart of the city don’t provide complimentary airport shuttles. Even when shuttles are provided, they’re crowded and small, making traveling with hyper students a challenge.

To simplify your hotel and airport transportation (and to avoid students and chaperones getting lost), rent a private  charter bus  for your group. Depending on the specifics of your trip, the cost of a  full-sized charter bus  may run between $1,200 and 1,700 per day in NYC, which averages out to only $20-30 per passenger. The peace of mind that comes from knowing that your students, faculty, and chaperones are safe in the Big Apple is priceless.

Though every school has its own unique itinerary based on their curriculum and personal preferences, we’ve put together a sample itinerary below with the destinations that frequent our customers’ itineraries. Feel free to use this as a starting point for your own trip to NYC!

Ride from your hotel to the biggest green space in the city-- Central Park . Give your students enough time to ride the Carousel, take a picture with the Alice in Wonderland statue, and wander around the 36-acre park. Hold off on visiting the Central Park Zoo, though--we’ll come back for the lions and tigers and bears on Day 3!

After a few hours of leisure time, meet at the American Museum of Natural Science to see fossils, cultural artifacts, meteorites, plants, animals, and more up close. It’s one of the largest museums in the world, so be prepared to do plenty of walking during your tour.

Since your feet will likely be sore after park and museum tours, ask your bus driver to meet you at Theodore Roosevelt Park and drop you off at your next stop: St. Patrick’s Cathedral .

The neo-gothic-style church was built in the 1800s and is a beautiful piece of religious architecture among the concrete jungle. Allow students to reverently explore the cathedral on their own, or stick around for a guided tour.

If time allows, swing around to the famed Rockefeller Center for a climb up to the Top of the Rock . Next, head to Times Square for shopping, people watching, and dinner at an iconic restaurant like Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

I wanted to write and tell you what a terrific job you did with our trip. I’ve been traveling since 1980 and this was the easiest trip ever for me. I simply had to do nothing but teach! It’s hard to believe it’s taken me this long to get it right, slow learner! The students and parents have had nothing to say but wonderful things…

Nan Moore Male High School

You have been so wonderful with our parents and students throughout the entire course of this tour. I am so glad we signed on with Music Travel Consultants/Educational Destinations as you gave our group the red carpet treatment every step of the way.

Janis Stackhouse Bloomington High School North

Music Travel Consultants/Educational Destinations is top-notch. The professionalism of the staff and their attention to detail is a director’s dream come true. My students and I have traveled with them four times over the past several years and I can say that “I won’t leave home without them!

Jena Adrianson Lawrence Central High School

I can’t say enough good things about Educational Destinations. They had everything covered and it was a relaxing and fun trip. My students and parents commented that it was the best trip we have ever taken. I’m ready to plan another trip with this company.

Brenda Bergman Jay County School Corporation

I recently had the pleasure of going on a Disney Trip with our band from Eastern High School in Greentown, IN. I was skeptical about going but am so glad I did. My Grandson and I came in rather late and had no problems whatsoever in getting onto your site, paying for our trip, and having confirmation that we were good to go.

Dianna Workinger Greentown, IN

Being able to trust implicitly the people who are planning what we will see, the timing of the itinerary, and the traveling arrangements is comforting not only to our staff but also to our parents. For our parents to know that this is a company that we use year after year with great results gives them the peace of mind that their children will experience the safest trip possible.

Mrs. Kathy Schubel Principal, St. Bartholomew Catholic School

I wanted to thank you so much for such a great trip! Our kids had a wonderful time and I could not imagine how we would have seen all that we were able to see without having you organize this trip for us.

Angie Remington Madison-Grant Elementary Students

I have worked with Educational Destinations on a yearly basis since 2001 and ED is the best educational travel group our school has ever worked with. It is refreshing to know that during the course of a trip that if any questions or problems arise, we have the consultant, whom we have worked with all year, right there with us to answer all questions and take care of the tickets and timing. It makes the trip very relaxing and enjoyable and a trip our kids never forget.

Darrin Russell 8th Grade U.S. History, Mitchell High School

I have been coordinating educational field trips for my school for the past 10 years and could not be happier with Educational Destinations. From the very first brainstorming session to the moment we return home from our trip, Educational Destinations works tirelessly to make sure our trips are memorable and successful. They are always quick to answer my questions, which I truly appreciate. Michael, Robin, and Ryan have been fantastic to work with over the years and I highly recommend them!

Kris Samick Spencer-Owen Community School Corporation

Educational Destinations has taken the stress out of planning and traveling with a large group. As a teacher, I am now able to actually enjoy the time I have with my students instead of worrying about all of the necessary details. From the very first contact made to the last moment of the trip and beyond, each and every person we have interacted with from Educational Destinations has been professional, concerned about fulfilling our needs, and exceptionally conscientious.

NYC Performing Arts Field Trips

Nyc performing art field trips.

Performing Arts in New York is nothing strange as it is on many individuals to do lists to watch a Broadway show when visiting. For those students interested in performing arts, New York is the ideal destination for them as New York is abundant with things to do. Three activities that can be done on NYC performing art field trips are:

Backstage Tour of Radio City Music Hall

A broadway workshop, watch a broadway show.

One of the most well known performance and event halls in New York is Radio City Music Hall .  It is the host for many broadway shows but specifically The Rockettes. While in New York you can take a guided tour of the Radio City Music Hall. This tour takes you backstage so that you can gain behind the scenes insight. It also is a great history lesson as you will learn about the evolution of the iconic Great Stage. The tour also includes viewing art deco masterpieces and visiting Radio City’s secret apartment. To make the tour even more memorable students can have the opportunity to meet a Rockette!

Broadway Workshop

Broadway Workshop is another great activity for students on a performing arts trip. This is an opportunity for them to participate in actual Broadway workshops and training. It gives students the chance to gain hands-on experience and learning through an educational workshop. The workshops are customizable which is great as students can be interested and engaged in what they are learning. This is a very hands on experience and therefore unforgettable for those performing arts students.

What’s a performing arts school trip to New York that does not involve watching a Broadway show? Impossible. Broadway shows in New York are a staple within the theatre industry. Therefore, it is essential to view one while on a trip to New York. There is a wide variety of shows to choose from all depending on your time of visit. This is sure to be a fun excursion while also educational for performing arts students.

A trip to New York for performing arts students is ideal as New York is one of the top destinations for arts and theater. NYC is a great learning opportunity that will prove to be enjoyable and memorable for any NYC performing art field trip!

Muscatine Community School District hosts grand opening of Tom Bruner Baseball Field

MUSCATINE, Iowa (KWQC) - Muscatine High School’s baseball field underwent a major makeover and the school district held a grand opening of the renovated Tom Bruner Field.

According to Director of Operations at Muscatine School District, Chris Nienhaus, says the total renovation cost around $2.5 million. The renovations included; bleachers, new fencing, cages, bullpens, concession stand and dugouts.

The field was switched to turf instead of natural grass.

Another new update was the press box. The press box is named after Bob Leech, who is a longtime Muscatine High School baseball coach.

“I was obviously surprised and happy about it,” Leech said. “I’m glad this committee thought of me, you know, but it’s an honor. I’m excited for the whole complex, for our young kids. So while it’s an honor for me, I’m happy, very happy about what’s happened here at Bruner. So we can try to get this thing back to where we want it to be.”

The field is named after Tom Bruner who was a Muscatine graduate and veteran. He was also a teacher at Muscatine and cared about sports, especially Muskie baseball.

His great granddaughter, Katie Hyink, says she grew up playing softball in Muscatine so it’s extraordinary.

“This is actually my second time,” Hyink said. “So the field, got some renovations in 1999 and I was 10 years old. I actually got to throw the first pitch for that one with my family here. So that was my first time kind of like learning about the history, but to have it revamped is amazing. I mean, it’s such a big piece of history in Muscatine, and it means a lot to my grandma and the rest of the family.”

Hyink also says she hopes current players appreciate how luck they are to have this opportunity that some colleges don’t even have and to not take advantage of it.
