Ah, childhood. Memories of rectangular pizza, awkward school dances, and unique field trips come to mind. When it comes to field trips, there are certain places most Marylanders went as a kid that left a lasting impression. These nostalgic places were great as a child, and would be just as fun visiting now, as an adult.
- Outdoor School
Steve Oliver / Flickr Outdoor School was a woodsy week full of bunk beds, hiking, science experiments, and campfires. You may have been homesick while you were there, but now you want nothing more than to go back.
- Washington DC
Wally Gobetz / Flickr You probably went on a DC trip not once, but several times throughout your school years. You may have visited all of the big monuments or explored the museums.
- C & O Canal
James Finister / Flickr An up close and personal history lesson, topped off with a mule drawn boat ride.
- War Reenactment
Michael Kappel / Flickr Maryland is rich in Civil War history. You may not have learned much at a reenactment, but it sure was fun to watch.
- Annapolis

- Nasa Goddard Space Flight Center
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center / Flickr It was awesome learning about space. It was not-so-awesome learning that Star Wars isn’t real.
- National Aquarium
Neil R / Flickr You left the National Aquarium convinced you wanted to be a marine biologist when you grew up.
- The National Zoo
Karen / Flickr At the National Zoo, giant pandas are like royalty. To catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures was worth bragging about.
- Maryland Science Center
The Maryland Science Center / Flickr You actually learned quite a lot here while having tons of fun. The Tyrannosaurus Rex bones also had you pretending you were in the Jurassic Park visitor center.
- Railroad Museum
Sean_Marshall / Flickr There are so many railroad museums in Maryland and by the time you made it to your senior year, you may have visited them all.
- Planetarium
Rowan University Publications / Flickr There are several planetariums throughout Maryland. When you were lucky enough to go, whoever got to hold the laser pointer was basically king of the universe.
If this list of Maryland field trips has you dying to go back, there is no time like the present. Plan a trip for yourself, make it a unique date, or take your own children to one of these amazing locations.
