​ =Oh, the places you can go ... ! =

Looking for a place to take your class so they can see a planetarium and an observatory, along with a small working farm on more than 100 acres? Then check out the Museum and Nature Center in Stamford.

Perhaps you want to stay closer to school instead ... there's EarthPlace in Westport, a 62-acre wildlife sanctuary that also offers educational programs.

Maybe your classes are learning about Native American cultures. If that's the case, travel to the northwest corner and visit the Institute for Native American Studies in Washington, CT, where the boys can see an authentically-reproduced Algonquin village and museum.

There's also a fantastic Native American exhibit on the other side of the state at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center.

For trips outside the Nutmeg State, you can visit the Dr. Suess Museum just over the border in Springfield, MA, or hit the Big Apple to see all the wonderful museums in New York City.

And, if you don't feel like traveling but want the show to come to you, check out the Beardsley Zoo (you can visit the zoo, too!) and High Touch, High Tech -- just two organizations that bring field trips directly to your classroom!

So, come on! Take a peek inside ... there's plenty of other interesting places to visit ...
