EDUCATIONAL TRIPS
In the midwest, Chicago is the place to go for educational trips. It offers great museums, the Shedd Aquarium and especially art. The museums alone range from an Egyptian themed Oriental Institute Museum to the International Museum of Surgical Science! This one is particularly intriguing if your team enjoys medical artifacts from throughout the history of the world. At the Shedd Aquarium you will step into a recreated Amazonian environment thriving with over 32,000 creatures! Every day is Earth Day here where wildlife is not only celebrated, it is preserved and nurtured for a better planet. Art in the windy city is more than a building or two, it's not a district, it's a way of life and a demonstration of Chicago's open mindedness and appreciation for all things unusual, beautiful and authentic. Get acquainted at the Museum of Contemporary Art and more!

After munching on some deep-dish pizza you'll be prepared to take on the view from the John Hancock Observatory where being 94 floors up will be the last thing on your mind once you've been mesmerized by the astounding view!

You'll want to stop in for 319 acres of fins, fireballs, Fabrosauri and facsimiles. Pick up a game of beach volleyball when you finish or consider boating and a trip out to Navy Pier!
