School trips to New York City are a great way to have students discover this fantastic metropolis.
Meticulously 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 developed a series of carefully planned itineraries for three and four-day NYC School trips and educational tours to New York City. These itineraries have been consciously crafted, based on the interests, attention spans, and feeding habits of tens of thousands of middle and high school students on our trips over 30 years. Our field programs are consciously designed to promote learning and bonding, while giving the students the most out of every minute spent at the in the City (without running them or their adult chaperones ragged).
One of the best 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 and memorable.
If there are better educational tour programs anywhere, Visit New York has never seen one.
