4th & 7th Grade Social Studies - San Antonio, TX
Take your students to San Antonio! Students begin their journey at the iconic Alamo, exploring one of Texas’ most important historic sites and learning how the events of 1836 shaped our state’s story. After immersing themselves in early Texas history, groups can customize their experience by choosing one of three exciting museum options:
-
Witte Museum – Dive into Texas science, nature, and culture through dynamic, hands-on exhibits that spark curiosity and discovery.
-
Briscoe Western Art Museum – Explore the art, stories, and legends of the American West through engaging galleries that bring cowboys, vaqueros, and frontier life to life.
-
Bullock Texas State History Museum – Trace the full story of Texas; from its earliest peoples to modern times—through powerful exhibits and immersive multimedia experiences.
This flexible field trip option allows teachers to tailor the day to their curriculum while giving students an unforgettable look at Texas history, culture, and innovation. Let your students experience history where it happened—and where it comes alive!
