With summer quickly approaching, my family is working on our summer travel bucket list. We homeschool all year round, so we love to incorporate educational places into our travels. If you are like us, then you need this list of top educational museums for homeschoolers in all 50 States! Even if you don’t homeschool, this list contains a plethora of fantastic museums for the whole family, no matter where you travel in the US this summer!
Before we get started, let’s talk about prepping for field trips…
Okay, so I know that some of this prep work is obvious. However, with kids and mom brain, I often feel I run with about 32 tabs open at all times. If you have a chance, do things the night before you leave…after the kids are in bed. I am the royal of all list-making to ensure I have everything we need.
First, I make sure I have cash on hand. As someone who rarely carries cash, I have to remind myself that some places still work better with cash on hand…whether it’s a vendor or a parking garage. Also, I install any apps that may make life easier for the trip. For example, I use the Pittsburgh parking app to make sure that I am always paid up on the meter whenever we visit the city. It just makes life easier to set everything up beforehand.
Also, double-check that there are no closings ahead of time. I do this via their social media usually because sometimes the websites are not always clear. Every once in a while, some places close unexpectedly for construction or a private event. While we are on this subject, make sure you don’t need reservations. Sometimes when a place has a special exhibit, you need tickets or reservations ahead of time!
Finally, make sure you bring snacks, maybe even a packed lunch, as food does tend to cost more at a museum. I like to save on my travel budget whenever possible.
