Your travel itinerary could look like...
Day 1
With the majority of your day taken with your UK flight to New York, we recommend you allow time to arrive and transfer to your accommodation.
In the evening take a visit to the Empire State Building, you can avoid the crowds and depending on timings you may enjoy a sunset you’ll never forget from the Observatory. Of course you can see the best and the famous New York lights. It’s best to book your tickets in advance to make the most of the views!
Day 2
The next day after sampling a New York breakfast head to Nintendo World, a 10,000 square foot shop filled with interactive game demos, accessories, apparel & collectibles. Located in the historic Rockefeller Centre, it’s where everyone comes to play!
Next it’s time to head downtown to the 9/11 Memorial Museum. The museum is an ever-growing permanent collection of artefacts, stories and much more demonstrating the devastating consequences of terrorism on both individuals and the New York City community.
Tonight let us arrange an evening meal for you at one of our partner restaurants.
Day 3
Time to get your head into the computer science of it all with a hands-on workshop and visit to the Microsoft Experience Centre on 5th Avenue. And for the motorsport fans there’s an amazing unique opportunity to tour the world’s race tracks with the brand new McLearen Senna simulator!
Time to head out on the water! A Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise will take your study group all around the island of Manhattan, you can take in the amazing landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridges and so much more. You can take food onboard, so it’s a great way to spend lunchtime as you enjoy the best of the famous skyline!
Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night. Tonight you enjoy an evening meal and a Broadway show! Unfortunately, West Side Story isn’t available but you could enjoy Lion King, Hamilton, Back to the Future and so many more.
Day 4
An early start to take you to the New York Hall of Science, also known as NYSCI.
Give your students on a New York study Trip an experience they’ll never forget. From events to tailored visits by level and curriculum, NYSCI has everything you need to make STEM exciting.
After lunch The New York Transit Museum is a museum that displays historical artifacts of the New York City Subway, bus, and commuter rail systems in the greater New York City metropolitan region. It’s also housed in a decommissioned subway station in downtown Brooklyn so afterwards why not explore the area or head to Brooklyn Bridge Park for more impressive views of the NYC skyline.
Day 5
Before heading for the airport for your return flight to the UK, you’ll have the opportunity to re-visit some of your favourite NYC sights. Head to Times Square, the New York Library or maybe an art museum, the Guggenheim or the Metropolitan are wonderful. Or maybe explore Central Park.
