We also went to the Gettysburg Times to tour the printing area. The children had many questions, and our guide did a good job answering all of them. Some other ideas for field trips are to go to a children s play production in Frederick or Hagerstown. Also in Hagerstown is a nice planetarium. Even an adult can learn a thing or two there.
Dads are a great source for field trip ideas.
Sometimes, dads can arrange to have a group come to their work place. And let s not forget field trips at the local post office, fire station and nature walks for leaf identification. Fall is the perfect time for a lighthearted trip to the pumpkin patch for a hayride and some apple cider. And in our own back yard is the history of the Civil War in the museums of Gettysburg. They have so much to offer, you can spend a couple of field trips there.
