Which school field trips do you remember going on?

[Lisa loves Pooh]

I only remember one in 8th grade we went to Washington, DC. Didn't tour the White House though.

I remember seeing A play, Peter and the Wolf and Cheaper by the Dozen.

6th grade we had an out of state trip
To EPCoT. The following year to an overnight to Carowinds. We did the science center on the school day. That night we went to a mall for dinner and Ice skating. One of my classmates broke his arm and his mom had to drive all the way to pick him up.

Then all my schools after that didn't really have any.

Most years were zoo/waterslide park/ and something educational.

Every year up until grade 9 we went to Lower Fort Garry. Now, this will sound awful..but I don't know why it's significant. I'm pretty sure it was a big Fort around where our city is because the remnants of the Fort (upper Fort Garry) are located in downtown. I think I went so many times that I've blocked it out. It had people in historical costumes and we learned how to make a candle and snowshoe (if we went in winter) and went to see the tannery. A lot of standing around being bored if you've been more than once.

As an adult, I went on what I consider a grown up field trip because I went to a working dairy farm. It definitely was not I expected, but I was a good sport about it. First I cleaned out stalls and rinsed off the cows. Then I fed them and hooked up a few to the milking machine. I even got to milk a cow! It was definitely an experience. I did draw the line though, at a sip of yellow milk, straight from a cow. It was hot and it had cow hair (fur?)in it.
EWWWWWWW
I helped the ladies in the kitchen after that. They spoke low German and, I don't, but we still managed to make it work.

I know there were trips every year, but these are all I remember.

The Cincinnati Zoo (K and 2nd grade, I think)
Conner Prairie near Indianapolis (4th when we were learning Indiana History)
The Cincinnati Airport (5th - It was very hot and sooo boring)
A brewery (7th - we walked the catwalks and they were super high and just open grates - freaked me out. Oh, and the smell.....)
A couple plays/musicals, but I can't remember what they were.
Kings Island annually in junior high and high school.

Most of my school trips here in the UK were local, I have many memories of traipsing through muddy fields looking for the next signpost in the Lakes District (It's called that I think because it rains so much it might as well be underwater...)

Though we did go to France and Belgium to see the WW1 battlefields, that was nice, loved Ypres, if anyone has family who fought in WW1 definitely worth a visit. Later on I went with my Drama studies group to see some plays at the west end in London (Billy Elliot, the Lord of the Rings musical and Cabaret) which was pretty cool, and the year after that my Classics class went to London to see the museums (really want to get back there, the history museums are amazing!)

Political studies classes used to go to London or Washington DC, but I was never able to go, would have been interesting. Always wanted to see more of America or Canada as a kid but it was never on the cards, money and opportunity wise at least.

Today I took my 8th grade class to see a ballet production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. We are also reading the play in class. It was an amazing production!
