RIDE... SPLASH... QUACK... LEARN
"The captain made our field trip a memorable experience. I'm sure my students will be talking about this until the end of the year! We're quazzzzyyy about Ride The Ducks!"
Need a field trip idea? Students and teachers alike will have a quack-tacular time on Ride The Ducks of Philadelphia. Our tours are perfect for educational field trips, because children remember more when they enjoy the learning process.
Travel on land and cruise the water for a more fun, more engaging, city experience. Be edu-tained by the Captain as you learn about Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and our Nation.
Students will learn.
After all, that's why they came. There is so much to learn about Philadelphia on this short tour of the historic district. They will have fun, too (which will make the learning more meaningful). Plus they get a free gift, the famous Wacky Quacker™, to interact with people on the street or move to the music of Philadelphia.
Ride The Ducks is the perfect field trip idea. Our captains are certified history buffs, each with a love of the city and its roots. We provide intensive training on Philadelphia's history as a city as well as its role in the state and the nation. We also provide our captains with ongoing training about current events in the area and constantly sharpen our skills and knowledge of the area.
Teachers will have fun.
No need to worry where the students are. They are all safely onboard and within earshot and eyes of our experienced licensed, USCG certified captains. And it's easy for teachers to participate in the tour. Teachers are encouraged to converse with the captain and add emphasis to historic facts when she/he believes it is beneficial.
