After searching for a localized place to compare field trips, and noticing a lack of such a place or tool, these field trips were condensed for the purpose of students in a high school Fine Arts course (music, art, etc.), looking for day trips (which that occur fully within the school day), extended trips (which require additional pick-up, drop-off, or both) and miscellaneous trips (conferences, competitions, virtual trips, or guest speakers who are willing to travel to you) to enhance the discussion and experience of the classroom.
