Where can i take high school kids on a trip to new york city?|182460

We are from Boston and i don_t know the city that well. Taking between 10 and 15 kids and it has to be an educaional trip or something like that within walking distance of ground zero also? Please help?

Wall Street, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Graves of Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton, St Paul_s Chapel (where President Washington went to church), to name just a few spots within walking distance.
Don_t miss walking along the Hudson River and the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center.

you can get a tour of the NY stock exchange thats pretty interesting depending on the age of the kids and NBC a local news station does tours for high school groups too! Have a great time

Take them to Ground Zero and show them World Trade Center 7(it_s open) then cross the Brklyn bridge. Battery Park and show them the Statue and ellis Is. show them the cilton Cir. I thnk they let people in the woolworth building. Should be safe now because there are like police on every corner in Dwntown

I recommend Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty. I_m sure many of your students had relatives that came through Ellis Island.

There are a number of great museums in lower Manhattan. For a list, go to the New York City Convention Center_s web site:

If you click on the link for _Planning Your Trip_ and then click on _Family Travel,_ you_ll be able to get ideas for visiting with kids or teens.

Let me add that few people mention that the United Nations is in Manhattan. I remember visiting it with my school as well as with my parents and I was do impressed that I can remember it to this day.

don_t forget the South Street Seaport, it_s a little bit of a walk from Ground Zero but the pay off is the Brooklyn Bride in its massive full glory. The S.S.Seapot also has a museum and such. Try to look up some info from them and see if you can arrange something theire. Historical and authentic.

depends on the class i guess. for science id obviously go to the natural history museum, art id go to the met or moma, for history id go way downtown for a walking tour,

see the staute of washington where he took his oath of office on broad and wall st across from the exchange ,trinity church, battery park at the tip of manhattan ,francines tavern where washington bid farewell to his officers, south st seaport and veiw the river aand its sights you can walk over to city hall up to chinatown and little italy ,then into grenwich village
