Recommended Destinations for Fun Field Trip With School Kids

Learning may be commonly associated with a classroom. However, veritably, there are many other things that kids can learn outside class. Therefore, schools would often take students out on a field trip to gain extra knowledge and experience.

Looking around, hunting for field trip destinations won’t be too hard, however some places limit their schedule for group visitors. Among the favorite times for a school field trip are the end of the year to the start of the year. Hence, some of the most favored field trip destinations are usually fully booked. TRAC has compiled several destinations in different cities in Indonesia as an alternative for field trip destinations with students.

Recommendations for exciting field trip destinations for school children in several cities

For historical tours, a trip to Kota Tua Jakarta or Jakarta Old Town can be an option. In Jakarta Old Town area, there are a couple of museums that varies in theme that you can tour, namely Bank Indonesia Museum, Wayang Museum, Jakarta History Museum, and several others.
