On Monday, December 1st we had a field trip to the museum to see the Titanic exhibit. Hubby was able to come as he took the morning off work. It was really a great exhibit and thankfully we got in for school group rates. The normal prices are really very, very expensive. Normal adult price is $21 and we got in for $4.00. This was a field trip that I had coordinated. There were some hiccups in the setting up of this field trip but in the end it all worked out great which I am thankful for.
The kids liked the replica iceberg. They tried to make hand prints on it. They also had replicas of the rooms. That was neat to see and I was impressed with the amount of room for the first class passengers.
The thing they liked the best though and learned the most from was the passports. Each person was given a passport that explained who they were, their family relationships, who was traveling aboard the Titanic with them, etc. Then at the end of the exhibit there was a list of names and we could look up to see if the person survived or not. It was really a great learning tool. Fascinating.
