field trip
Educational group journey
A field trip is an excursion taken by students to observe or experience something outside the classroom—a museum, factory, historical site, or natural area.
The term extends to any organized outing for educational or informational purposes: The new hires took a field trip to the warehouse.
Informally, any group excursion: We made a field trip to the taco stand.
