Fun, educational ideas for learning and exploring outside the classroom!
Treasure Valley Family Magazine knows that education and learning happen every day, in and outside the 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, places where your family can go and learn together!
Call ahead to confirm any details, possible fees, program registration, scheduling, and more for your group, classroom, or family!
