Homeschool Field Trips in Central Florida

There is so much to do in Central Florida and one fun way to learn is by attending field trips. Here are some field trips that my kids and I participated in with our homeschool group. I am also including field trips that I found that looked interesting. Some of these places might welcome a small family and others might require a minimum number of students to book a field trip. Check out their website and/or contact the place to get more information.

Here we are at the Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna Beach (left), Sally Dark Rides in Jacksonville (center), and The Center for Great Apes in Wauchula (right).
