field trips
Class visits somewhere
Field trips are excursions organized by schools or groups to visit places outside the classroom—museums, factories, historical sites, nature preserves.
The purpose is educational: students see concepts in real-world settings rather than just reading about them.
We took a field trip to the aquarium.
The term extends to any organized group outing with an educational or exploratory purpose.
