Summer vacation is almost upon us, but until kids can chant “school’s out, scream and shout” (yes, grew up on High School Musical), there’s still plenty of time for field trips. Whether you’re looking for an educational school visit or a purely fun experience to reward your class after a great school year, the Dallas-Fort Worth area has tons of kid-friendly activities to indulge in this season.
Titanic: The Exhibition
Kids and adults alike are fascinated by the fate of the TITANIC. At Titanic: The Exhibition, your class will learn more about the unfortunate event that has shaped history as we know it today. Incredible recreations of the Ship’s Grand Staircase, the Promenade Deck and even sleeping cabins, make this exhibit truly special. Plus, you’ll get to see real artifacts and memorabilia from actual passengers aboard the Ship. It’s a powerful exhibit the kids won’t forget! Book group tickets here.
Candlelight concerts
Searching high and low for an outside-the-box experience for your kiddos? Candlelight concerts should definitely be on your list. String quartets, pianists and sometimes even vocalists reimagine the kids’ favorite tunes — from Taylor Swift to Beyoncé and Coldplay. And if you’re looking for an educational experience, what fits the bill more than a Vivaldi concert — bathed in the gentle glow of a hundred candles? Explore all your choices, and create your very own private concert right here!
We Call It performances
Foster the kids’ cultural knowledge with We Call It performances. Whether you opt for We Call It Ballet, We Call It Jazz, We Call It Flamenco, or even We Call It Tango, your class will definitely be awe-struck.
