Where Learning Meets Adventure on Wheels!

Inspiring Lifelong Learning Through
Real-World Experiences

Enrichment Excursions is your one-stop-shop for field trips that are educational, fun, and totally hassle-free. We take your child on amazing, hands-on learning adventures—whether it’s to a museum, theater, science center, or even a behind-the-scenes tour of a cool local business. 

At Enrichment Excursions, we’re firm believers that education doesn’t need to come with a chalkboard or a pop quiz. Our mission? To create hands-on, mind-blowing adventures that spark curiosity and boost confidence. Whether it’s sneaking backstage at theaters or hanging out with conservationists who make hugging trees look cool, every trip lets kids dive headfirst into real-world experiences.

 

We’re all about those essential life skills; problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. Thing is, we make them fun. Like, really fun. We want kids to explore, grow their independence, and tackle new challenges like seasoned pros (or at least like kids who can figure out how to pack their own lunch). Each adventure is a growth spurt in disguise, showing them that the world is full of possibilities and not just places to do homework.

At Enrichment Excursions, the world’s not a classroom, it’s one giant playground. Every trip is a chance to learn, grow, and maybe even come home with a cool story that doesn’t involve sitting at a desk!

Quest Options for Every Kid!

We get it—you’re busy, and your kid wants to explore everything. Good news! Our quests give your kiddos a whole calendar of super fun, super educational trips.  Our QUEST (Quality Unique Educational Student Transportation) buses transport them to various enriching educational outings covering a wide range of topics.

You get to pick how many outings your child can go on, so there’s always something new around the corner!

Why Join Enrichment Excursions?

Making Friends While Exploring the World

They'll make friends and get that important socialization to become amazing humans!

Safety First,
Adventure Second

We know that they're precious cargo! We'll make sure they get back safe & happy!

Drop-Off Freedom for Busy Parents!

Seriously, we'll take your kiddos and transport them to friends and adventures.

Our trips are designed for adventurers aged 8 (3rd Grade) and up, with plenty of excitement in store. But don’t worry, we didn’t forget about the younger siblings or parents who want in on the action! We’ve got Tag-Along tickets for the little ones and Grown-Up tickets for adults who aren’t quite ready to sit this one out. So, whether you’re 8 or 80, there’s a place on our adventures just for you!

F.A.Q.s

We’re glad you asked! Enrichment Excursions is a program of UC Makerspace and Imagine Foundry and is your one-stop-shop for field trips that are educational, fun, and totally hassle-free. We take your child on amazing, hands-on learning adventures—whether it’s to a museum, theater, science center, or even a behind-the-scenes tour of a cool local business. Our custom-designed buses make the journey just as fun as the destination!

Nope! You can kick back and relax—we’ve got this. Our trained chaperones (education and child-care pros!) will handle everything, so your child is in good hands. But hey, if you want to tag along for the adventure, we offer adult tickets and volunteer spots for parents at a reduced fee. It’s your choice!

Not at all! While we love our homeschool community, we welcome all kids—public school, private school, and beyond! We even have events during school breaks and holidays that the public school kiddos can join in on. Basically, if your child loves learning and having fun, they’re welcome aboard!

Our trips are perfect for children ages 8 (3rd grade) and over without mom or dad looming over them. We make sure to tailor our activities so every child has an age-appropriate, fun experience! Under 8s can Tag-Along but require a Grown-Up ticket to go.

A little bit of everything! From trips to museums, science centers, and theaters to behind-the-scenes tours of local businesses and wildlife centers, we’ve got it all. Plus, we offer Quest Packs to maximize your savings! Check out our events calendar to see what’s coming up!

Easy-peasy! We offer different membership levels based on how many trips you’d like your child to attend. You pick the membership that works best for your family, and then you can choose from our awesome calendar of trips. 

Absolutely! Safety is our number one priority. We’re fully insured, and our staff includes professionals trained in education, healthcare, or child care. Plus, every trip has at least one CPR-certified chaperone on board. Your child is in good hands while they’re out exploring the world.

Of course! We love when kids bring along their pals (or siblings). Just make sure they’re signed up for a membership too, and they can join the fun! The more, the merrier!

Some of our trips offer a lunch add-on option, and for others, it’s a “bring-your-own” situation. Either way, we’ve got you covered! If your child prefers to pack their own meal, they’re more than welcome to brown bag it—we even have refrigeration on the bus to keep everything fresh. So, whether it’s a pre-ordered meal or a home-packed favorite, your child won’t go hungry on our adventures!

We know things come up! Just let us know as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to reschedule your child for a future trip. Be sure to check out our cancellation policy for the details.

It’s super easy! Just head to our Main Quests or Quest Packs page, choose the plan that works for you, and pick your trips from our calendar. Once you’re signed up, your child’s adventure is officially underway!
