Philadelphia Student Travel

Philadelphia is the cradle of American democracy. Student groups can explore Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was first issued, and explore the history of the Freedom Trail. Musicians can delve into the art of great American Jazz artists, John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie while exploring the city of brotherly love. Philadelphia also offers side trips to historic Amish country; and if there’s still time, take your students to nearby Hershey for a chocolate treat.

Independence National Historic Park

This historic park contains a wealth of early American history. Home to Independence Hall, a World Heritage Site, and the famous Liberty Bell, your student group can spend hours exploring the numerous sites within this national park.
