TEACHERS & STUDENTS
AN EXCEPTIONAL SPOT FOR A CLASS FIELD TRIP
Not only do children of all ages find the view from 700 feet in the air to be truly exhilarating, but teachers become equally excited by the vast array of enriching and interactive exhibits that showcase Boston’s cultural history. The Skywalk Observatory is proud of Boston’s world-wide reputation as an international center of education, and we are excited to work with educators and provide materials that will help make their field trip as engaging and informative as possible. The Dreams of Freedom Museum exhibits were designed to meet Massachusetts curriculum standards and are age appropriate for elementary, middle, and high school students.
