* 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]].

* 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]].

* ''[[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.

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had one episode in which Bart's class went on a trip to a box factory.

There was another episode where the class went to the Post Office, which was less mundane for the characters.

** ''[[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}}
