== Literature ==

== [[Literature]] ==

* Every book in ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' series (as well as every episode of the animated series) revolves around a class trip. And with Miss Frizzle and the titular school bus, these trips are educational, but far from boring, taking the kids to prehistoric times, to the depths of space or [[Fantastic Voyage Plot|into a classmate's body]].

* [[Percy Jackson ~~and~~ ~~The~~ Olympians|The Percy Jackson series]] starts off with one of these. The trip is somewhat cut short when Percy's math teacher turns into a horrible monster, tries to kill him, is vaporised, and seems to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|disappear from everyone's memories]].

* [[Time Scout]] takes these up to eleven, where a field trip involves going to [[Victorian London]] or [[Ancient Rome]]. When something goes wrong on those field trips, it's ''very'' wrong.

Line 75:

** Continued in ''[[Persona 4]]''. With a trip to [[Continuity Nod|Port Island.]] Which, like the trip above, is also used as a [[Breather Episode]] with no fights or conflict, just fun. Notably, KING'S GAAAAAAAME! *hic*

* ''[[Little Busters!]]'' has one as a very prominent plot point. {{spoiler|To elaborate, the ''whole'' game is set in a virtual world created when the said trip [[Gone Horribly Wrong]].}}

* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', like ''[[Battle Royale]]'', has the classes chosen for the [[Deadly Game|latest SOTF season]] abducted from their school trips, almost always on June 19 . The exception to this is Bathurst in v2, where the two classes were taken from a sexual education seminar due to {{spoiler|the terrorists' [[The Mole|mole]], Steven Wilson, having spent the year masquerading as the new principal, and then choosing that moment to pump the auditorium full of sleeping gas}}.

* Even [[lolcat]]s like to go on [http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/09/28/funny-pictures-kitteh-committeh-field-trip/ field trips.]

* As mentioned in the literature section, the entire premise of ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' is going on some sort of field trip. The trips usually start out mundane, but [[Cool Teacher|Ms Frizzle]] and [[Cool Car|the Bus]] end up making them pretty [[Fantastic Voyage|crazy]].

* ''[[Fillmore!]]!'' has an episode where Fillmore, Ingrid and O'Farrell go on a class trip with an assortment of other one-episode characters. They go to a museum and when a picture is defaced, Fillmore and Ingrid must find out who the perpetrator is before the ink dries.

* ''[[X-Men: Evolution]]'' had at least two field trip episodes during its run, both of which resulted in ''near-complete chaos''.

* ''[[Daria]]'' goes on field trips thrice, first to the Mall of the Millennium for economics, though it's implied the teacher only wants to go because of the opportunity to find her Beanie Baby-esque collectibles, and in a later season, the students go to play paintball with Mr. DeMartino in order to "learn the effects of '''''warfare''''' on all aspects of society." Following that, the students went mountain climbing with disastrous results.

* In the ''[[Invader Zim]]'' episode "A Room with a Moose", Zim uses a fake class trip to send his classmates to their doom.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had one episode in which Bart's class went on a trip to a box factory. On the way they pass these other school busses outside of better places (if I remember right, one was even outside a toy factory). There was another episode where the class went to the Post Office, which was less mundane for the characters.

** They also had an episode where the school went to a chocolate factory, a trip Bart missed because he forgot his permission slip.

** In another, Bart's class visits the Springfield Police station and creates a sonic boom by linking up loads of megaphones.

** ''[[The Simpsons]]'' has had numerous class-trip episodes. "Homer's Odyssey" has one of the funniest moments of the entire series, on a trip to the nuclear power plant, where Sherri and Terri simultaneously kiss Bart. Then there's "Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade" where Bart and Lisa are made "buddies" on a trip to Capital City, resulting in their missing the bus home because there's nobody to report either of them absent. And of course there's "Das Bus", where the kids get stranded on a remote island... I'm sure there are '''many''' more.{{verify}}

* ''[[Lloyd in Space]]'' featured one episode where Lloyd's class goes to "Wormhole National Park", the main attraction being a wormhole (duh!). Lloyd ends up sucked into it at one point and teleported into a garbage bin, but the others don't know that.

* ''[[Kim Possible]]'': The class went on a field trip to Mexico or something.{{verify}} It got cancelled and ended up in Pirate Haven Mystery Cove Bay. Or something.{{verify}} And they fought pirates.
