Open Spaces on Field Trips

There’s room for you on a Field Trip!

 Our 2024 season is underway, and there are some top-notch trips that still have spaces available.

Check out our interactive map (and list below that) to find a Field Trip that is a great fit for you!

 

This map includes fives tabs that correspond to the physical demand of each trip. For more information on the physical demand ratings visit our Field Trip accessibility page.

Note: the locations on the map are approximate. When you register for a trip, the exact location of the trip will be emailed to you about two weeks prior to the trip dates.
