With April vacation arriving next week, it's hard to believe we're already wrapping up another school year here on the SouthCoast.

The Best Field Trip Ever

The best field trip we ever went on was to Canobie Lake Park in the sixth grade. The trip to the New Hampshire amusement park was a rite of passage. The sixth graders were a big deal in our school because it was the final year of elementary before we all got promoted to the awkward and uncomfortable world of junior high.

The Ones That Weren’t So Great

The runner-up field trip was the Museum of Science in Boston. I still love that lightning exhibit. Did you know that it actually got its start in Dartmouth?

Hot take? I have never been impressed with the New England Aquarium. I thought it was a boring field trip. It was dark in there, it smelled weird, and I was ready to leave in about 15 minutes.

SouthCoast's Favorite Field Trips

Our MGM Show audience shared some of their favorite field trips from back in the day. There were so many great memories! Sadly, some of them are no longer possible.

We had one caller shout out Miss Whitney for bringing their class to a Boston Red Sox playoff game at Fenway Park back in 1975. "We all piled into a station wagon to get up there. That'd never happen these days!"  The Sox advanced to the World Series that year.

Field Trips We’ll Never Forget

We had a ton of calls from people remembering their favorite field trips. Here are some of the top memories.
