We live in Western New York, so I figured I'd try to get some ideas together for field trips. One of the things that disappoints me about Pea's school is the rarity of field trips and I personally think field trips are a big part of learning. We'll start homeschooling in the Fall (seeing as this school year is done very shortly), but I want to be as prepared as can be before then.
I'll probably add to this list as we go, but at least I have some starting point as to where we can go for field trips.
Albright-Knox Art Gallery
Aquarium of Niagara
Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens
Buffalo Fire Historical Society Museum
Buffalo Museum of Science
Buffalo Naval Park
Buffalo Philharmonic/Kleinhans Music Hall
Buffalo Zoo
Corning Museum of Glass
Explore & More Children's Museum
Ferguson Planetarium
Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House
Great Pumpkin Farm
Griffis Sculpture Park
Lancaster Opera House
Niagara Falls (the waterfall)
Penn Dixie Site
Shea's Performing Arts
The Strong Museum of Play
Tifft Farms Nature Preserve
I figure that we could also go to the local police station, fire department, possibly a bank (seeing as our Federal Reserve Branch closed down), Post Office, and a restaurant.
