It is a staple for a lot of Cleveland area schools to take a 5th or 6th grade trip to Columbus. I don't know if this is because it's the capitol or just because it's another important Ohio city with some different and interesting things. I know when I went we visited both the capitol, and COSI. I'm just wondering if this is a typical thing the other way around with Columbus kids coming to Cleveland.

Out of curiosity, which Cleveland Schools do this?

I went to Kenston and we went to Toronto when I was in 6th grade. They recently changed it to Philly though. I haven't heard of schools taking trips to Columbus.

My School was a private school in Beachwood (Agnon), however I think Shaker also does this, and Beachwood maybe, it might not actually be that widespread of a thing.

I don't remember hearing of any Cleveland/area schools that did this. BTW I went to Cleveland, Lorain, and Elyria city schools.

The furthest we ever went on a field trip was Canton and Sandusky I believe (both only an hour away). Most of our field trips were either downtown, University Circle, or the Zoo.

Columbus is 2 1/2 hours away, so even if it was a full day field trip you would barely have a hour to do anything there before you had to get back on the bus.

I am from WV, and we used to take field trips to COSI in C-bus.

I grew up in Columbus and we would go downtown for the statehouse/COSI/ohio theater, but never went to Cleveland or Cincy or pretty much anywhere else, except Dayton for a rock collecting thing once
