St. Augustine
Jerry was helpful, professional and a joy to work with. I appreciated his expertise. (The field trip) was scheduled perfectly and all aspects were better than I could have hoped for!
The Central Florida region is rich in educational and entertaining opportunities; a combination which makes learning look likes fun. This field trip may be focused strictly on Orlando attractions or include the Kennedy Space Center. The Disney Theme Park Complex offers a wide variety of exceptional “behind the scenes” (Y.E.S.) educational programs; some of which are conducted while the park is closed to the public. General admission visits to EPCOT, MGM Studios and the Animal Kingdom offer a wide range of exhibits designed to stimulate students' interest in technology, the arts, natural history, conservation, and community planning. At Sea World, students will participate in an educational program led by expert staff with a full day to explore and enjoy the myriad shows and exhibits offered in the Park. Universal Studios provides an entertaining look at the movie industry with programs on lighting, sound and animation. The structure of your Orlando field trip is highly flexible and quite suitable for the winter months.
Another outstanding destination in Florida is America’s Oldest City where students will be guided, on foot, by licensed experts. Included in our visit to St. Augustine will be a tour of the Castillo de San Marcos Fort, riverboat cruise, Potter’s Wax Museum and a guided tour of Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth. At the Kennedy Space Center, students will enjoy a 3-D IMAX presentation, bus tour of the Space Flight Center, visits to the Saturn Exhibit, Rocket Park exhibits and the Space Center Museum.
The Florida Aquarium and the Mote Marine Science Center in Sarasota offer students an excellent opportunity to study both fresh and saltwater fishes, shore birds, reptiles, mammals and habitats. At either location, you may choose from a variety of educational programs conducted by experts. A full day may be devoted to Busch Gardens where students may participate in an educational program directed by park naturalists and also have the opportunity to view a variety of animal exhibits and demonstrations. Of course, time will be available to challenge some of the country’s most acclaimed theme park adventure rides. Additionally, one evening everyone will view an IMAX presentation at the MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry). Please ask us about additional excursions to Ft. Myers to visit the Edison Museum and Ford House or a Dolphin Encounter Cruise in St. Petersburg.
