Planning Student Group Travel to New York City

Student travel is a very exciting and memorable time for student bands. In the Big Apple, students have the opportunity to explore a wide range of culture and diverse attractions from the Empire State Building to Times Square and Broadway. In New York City students can eat, shop, watch sporting events, visit museums and enjoy what many call the most exciting city in the world has to offer.

Rockefeller Center is home to some of New York City’s most famous sights such as the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, NBC studios, along with the stellar view from the “top of the rock”. Adjacent to the Rockefeller Center is Radio City Music Hall. Another sight that happens to be a favorite amongst student travellers young and old is the Statue of Liberty. Students enjoy taking a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty and learning about Ellis Island and the millions of people who passed through there in order to immigrate to America.

When people mention the Big Apple, many people automatically think of Central Park. It is over 800 acres and might be the most famous park in the world. This park houses a zoo, scenic walking and biking trails, ponds, statues and plenty of grass for picnicking or playing sports. Central Park is a must-see for your student travel groups.

Another iconic spot in New York City is Times Square on 42nd st. This area tends to be another favorite sight amongst student travel groups. Times Square is full the massive digital billboards, neon lights and brightly lit advertisements. It is a beautiful site to see, and the sites range from the museums, restaurants and shops in that area, down to corner hot dog vendors and taxi’s pushing through the traffic.

Broadway is another big attraction in this city. The theaters are a top attraction and musical numbers range from comedies to drama. Taking your high school students to see a musical on Broadway is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Broadway is a great attraction for high school band tours, since these shows are based on music and performing.

Whatever attractions you and your students decide to visit, New York City is the ideal destination for all of your travel needs. New York City student group tours are sure to offer your students an experience that will last a lifetime.
