Can you guess this field trip destination? Here's a hint: It overlooks the Pacific Ocean...

BTW, if you guessed Bates Nut Farm in last month's Field Trip Unknown, you are correct!!! The popular destination, known for their pumpkin patch fields during the fall, was originally a walnut farm, and has grown to include retail stores, old-fashioned candy counter, a farm zoo, and more.

With Tijuana Estuary (Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve) – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

06/11/2026

The Tijuana Estuary provides free educational field trips for elementary, middle, and high school students. Programs include hands-on activities that can also incorporate art, language arts, and social studies. Students explore topics such as estuary ecology, native plants, and bird populations while gaining a deeper understanding of the estuarine environment. Like so many amazing field trip opportunities in our county, admission is free, and these students could not have had this experience WITHOUT A BUS. That's where ArtsBusXpress comes in.

"Teachers appreciated that the buses pulled up to the entrance, and it wasn't chaotic. They also mentioned how the docents were very welcoming and helpful to us, and organized. The theater was great it was close to the musicians and that experience was valuable."

- Teacher from Nicoloff Elementary School after a field trip to Classics4Kids

Your generous support has given students the opportunity to experience a live classical theater performance, including the rare chance to be so close to the stage and the musicians -- an experience many would likely never have outside of this field trip. Your gifts make meaningful educational and cultural experiences like this possible.

ArtsBusXpress is the only organization in San Diego County that provides funding directly to teachers, helping cover bus transportation costs for field trips, outreach programs, and learning opportunities. Without ArtsBusXpress, many students in under-resourced schools would miss out on life-changing educational experiences that inspire creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning.

Your support helps us connect more students to the arts, sciences, and cultural experiences. Every share makes a difference.

"We changed the trip from the San Diego Zoo to the San Diego Safari Park. It rocked! The San Diego Safari Park staff was so organized and welcoming! Students were able to walk into the new kangaroo enclosure that allows guests to stroll next to the kangaroos. Students will be able to work on their animal art projects with a new mindset now that they have seen wild animals up close!"

- Teacher from Felicita Elementary School after a field trip to the San Diego Safari Park

Getting out of the classroom and observing animals in real life can change the way students learn. These field trips help young minds connect with nature in a way that books can’t.
