Answer 3

the museums, the world aquarium, the farmer's market, the space center, and check the dance and theatre shows...

Any place can be adapted for different age groups.  You just need to do research to prepare them before they go.  For example, they can do a project based on the field trip.  Create the guidelines and do research before you go.  Also, before the trip,  identify things that they should be looking for and questions that they should ask while on the field trip.  Then, come back and complete the projects.

This way, they can make the most out of their trip.

Happy Travels!
