Massachusetts Field Trips

As this page grows we would love to know what residents of Massachusetts  have done for field trips.  Just contact us to share your ideas.

Some great ideas are very simple.  The library gives you the world at your fingertips.  It is amazing how many people home school and yet do not frequent their local library.  One mother told me that she lives in an area where there are several libraries and she finds it fun to take her children to different libraries in the area.  Great idea!

If you live near state parks or national parks these are a great resource.  We have found the the park rangers are more than willing to give tours or to teach children anything that you can imagine.
