BALTIMORE — What's the best field trip you ever went on?
Did The Zoo instill a lifelong love of animals? Did a trip to a museum, government building, or local T.V. station inspire the career path you're on today? Or was a jaunt to the local park down the street truly just the best of times?
Now Baltimore students have a hundred options to make their new favorite trip this Summer.
Non-profit Baltimore's Promise, The Fund for Educational Excellence, and 10 major cultural institutions teamed up to create "Field Trip Fridays," offering free trips to youth programs throughout the Summer.
