New York City Student Trip
New York City reigns supreme as a top destination for student group trips. There’s so much to see and do, it’s hard to squeeze it all in. When you’re ready to make your standard student trip a stand-out experience, check out New York City.
New York City Highlights
Rockefeller Center
Rockefeller Center is great for student groups. The observation deck at Top of the Rock is usually less crowded than the Empire State Building and offers a stunning, unobstructed view of the city. The NBC Studios tour is popular with students and tons of fun.
The 9/11 Memorial Museum
Located at the World Trade Center in New York City, the 9/11 Memorial Museum tells the story of September 11, 2001. Student groups will explore media, narratives, and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts, along with personal stories of loss, recovery, and hope.
Lower East Side Tenement Museum and Ellis Island
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum is a landmark building that tells the story of immigrants to New York City between the 19th and 21st centuries through the personal experiences of those who lived here. Couple this experience with a trip to Ellis Island to help students understand the role of immigration in our nation’s evolving identity.
Hudson Yards
Hudson Yards is a sprawling, gleaming 26+ acre complex on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan. It’s a neighborhood comprised of restaurants, shops, office space, residences, gardens and green space, attractions – including The Edge!
