These are some fun ideas for field trips around the Central Valley and California.
Local Field Trip Ideas
- Fresno Fair
- Amtrak Kids N Trains (An exciting Amtrak California program which enables schools and other youth groups and their chaperones, to experience train travel at significantly reduced fares. Do not call Amtrak about Kids N Trains.)
- California Theatre Center (Provides quality plays for children preschool to 8th grade at Tower Theatre. Olive and Van Ness area.)
Google “Fresno Students Philharmonic” for a quality school music performance. This helps build an appetite in our students’ hearts for the fine arts. In the past, the performances were at 9:00am at Roosevelt High School Auditorium at Cedar and Tulare. Low cost.
