Read and discover Treasure Valley Family Magazine’s annual Field Trip Guide. We know that education and learning happen every day, in and outside the school classroom. So, here are some ideas on where to go for educational tours to learn “outside the classroom” during the regular school week. We’ve also included groups that come into the schools for assemblies and presentations. And last but not least, where your family can go and learn together!
