Washington D.C. Student Trip
A student trip to Washington D.C. is a great experience for student groups of all kinds. Our nation’s capital is rich in politics, history, culture, art and architecture.
Washington D.C. Highlights
Monuments and Memorials
Tour the Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, National World War II Memorial, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, the FDR Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. All are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
National Archives
The National Archives is a great spot to study how the actions of the Federal Government are based in our Constitution. It also houses the three original “Charters of Freedom,” including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Museums
There are 74 epic museums in Washington D.C. covering everything from the history of flight to the fascinating stories of real-life spies. Any of them are amazing stops for student groups.
The National Zoo
Full disclosure… it’s actually the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, so of course it’s amazing. It’s also FREE! The Zoo is open every day (except December 25th) and is home to every kind of animal from A to Z.
