Today we arrive in the Big Apple and meet our ClassTrip.com Tour Director who will remain with us throughout the duration of our trip. We visit Rockefeller Center, a Great Depression era creation which in large part makes mid-town Manhattan what it is today. Rockefeller Center is a unique synthesis of urban planning, architecture, landscaping and sculpture commissioned by the Rockefeller family and including Radio City Music Hall and the famous skyscraper at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. While here we enjoy a backstage tour of Radio City Music Hall, a storied entertainment venue known as the “Showplace of the Nation” which is the headquarters for the Rockettes. We head to Fifth Avenue, where there is an opportunity to explore the street’s world-renowned shopping. We visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. This neo-gothic cathedral was built in the mid to late 19th century and is one of the most well-known symbols of American Catholicism. We enjoy dinner together in New York City and visit the Empire State Building Observatory, from which we see the city from one of its highest viewing points.
After breakfast we visit the National September 11 Memorial and Museum which is located at the World Trade Center. The Memorial and Museum commemorate and seek to educate the public regarding the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. After lunch we take a subway ride to Central Park, one of New York City’s most famous landmarks and the most-filmed location in the world. In the afternoon we experience the American Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side, the mission of which is to “To discover, interpret, and disseminate—through scientific research and education—knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe.” We have dinner together and spend the night in New York City.
This morning we depart on a cruise from Battery Park which will take us to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Ellis Island served as an immigrant inspection station from 1892 to 1924 and today is the site of the National Museum of Immigration. European immigrants would have seen the Statue of Liberty as they made their entrance to the United States. Upon our return to Battery Park we take the subway to Times Square, where we have time to explore independently. Times Square is known as “the Crossroads of the World” and is the home of the Broadway Theater District. This evening we depart New York City and begin our journey home.
