Homeschool Days are special days set aside for homeschooling families to enjoy the venue at a discounted rate—and in the company of fellow homeschoolers. These åevents often include special programs geared to various age levels. Many Homeschool Days were initiated by HEAV, but the events have proven so popular that MANY museums and historical sites offer multiple days throughout the year.
Field trips, by contrast, can be taken ANY time that suits you and your family. Taking an impromptu field trip to culminate a chapter or unit study–or just to enjoy an on-site experience– are one of the many blessings of homeschooling!
Our advice is to always contact the designated venue for details, especially before heading out the day of the event.
You can take a field trip any time. Visit our pages for some favorite field trips by interest or region. Can’t get out? That’s okay, virtual field trips abound too!

Virtual Field Trips
We know! Getting out and about isn’t always easy–or even possible. Virtual field trips are a GREAT option! These specially designed tours let you experience many venues on those days when getting there just won’t work.
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. With virtual maps and street views, you could even take a tour of a far-away city like London or Paris without ever leaving the house.
