educational visit

Learning-focused excursion

An educational visit is a trip to a location outside the usual learning environment—a museum, historical site, nature reserve, or workplace—undertaken for instructional purposes.

Schools organize educational visits to supplement classroom teaching with firsthand experience: The class went on an educational visit to the science center.

The term is more common in British than American English, where field trip predominates.
