Premium Wilmington Day Trip – History & Hands-On Science in One Easy Package

Looking for a North Carolina school field trip that blends history, STEM, and the coast? Our Premium Wilmington Day Trip is the perfect mix — and we make it effortless for teachers.

Best time to go: October–November or March–May offer the best weather.

We handle all the bookings and send a professional Tour Director to ride along so your day runs smoothly.

🚢 Explore the USS North Carolina Battleship

Start with a self-guided tour of the USS North Carolina Battleship, an authentically restored WWII vessel. Students climb gun turrets, explore nine decks, and learn about the 2,000 sailors who once called the “Showboat” home.

Tip for teachers: The Battleship is cashless at the ticket window and gift shop.

🌊 Carolina Ocean Studies – Two Exciting Options

After a picnic lunch, dive into a hands-on marine science program with Carolina Ocean Studies:

• Island & Sound Exploration (Masonboro Island): Crabbing, marsh life, shelling, and exploring a preserved barrier island.

• Pier into the Ocean (Kure Beach Pier): Fishing lessons, squid dissection, shark tooth fossil hunt, and optional beach scavenger hunt.

Packing tip: Students should wear old shoes and bring a change of clothes — they may get wet during activities.
