Field Trips

• Arizona History Museum–Tucson, Arizona
  • Explore Arizona’s history from ancient times to the present! Focusing on Southern Arizona but connecting with state-wide, national, and international history, the Arizona History Museum encourages students to think about how Arizona has changed over time through ecology, human movement, arts and culture, technology, and more. Teachers can select up to three exhibits to explore in-depth with a museum educator and then can choose to spend the remainder of the field trip doing a group activity in our interactive educational space or exploring the rest of the museum in small, chaperone-guided groups. Chaperone groups will be self-led. 
• Arizona Heritage Center — Tempe, Arizona 
  • Learn about Central Arizona’s history from the Arizona Territory days to the 1990s. The Arizona Heritage Center tells the story of Phoenix’s role in major historical events in the 20th century. Students will discover the 5Cs of Arizona’s economy (climate, copper, cotton, cattle, and citrus), how WWII impacted Arizona, and how the boom in population changed Phoenix. Book a tour of up to three exhibits that will be thoroughly explored. The museum educator will direct the students through the selected exhibits and facilitate group activities. Teachers that would like to continue the field trip through the remainder of the museum may do so with chaperone groups. Chaperone groups will be self-led.
