44 Year 12 students are gearing up for our trip to Manhattan from June 27th to July 6th, 2025, and it’s going to be an incredible experience! We’ll be staying in a great hotel in midtown with en-suite rooms for four, 24-hour security, free Wi-Fi, and a gym. It’s the perfect base for all the adventures we have planned.
The itinerary is packed with iconic sights. We’ll kick off our exploration with Wall Street, then head to Rockefeller Center and the United Nations Headquarters. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is next, and we’ll definitely take in the views from Top of the Rock. A boat ride in Central Park will be a nice way to relax amidst the hustle and bustle.
On top of this we will also check out the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and we can’t forget the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. A stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge is a must, and we can soak up the energy of Times Square and walk the High Line.
With July 4th happening during our stay, we’re especially excited about the fireworks over the East River. Celebrating Independence Day in New York will be unforgettable. We’ll find some time to shop in Times Square, Chinatown, and Macy’s, and if we can fit it in, a day trip to Coney Island for some beach fun sounds great. Further to add there is also a baseball game and a Broadway show—both are high on our list!
Plans are flexible, so can be adjusted as needs be. Overall, this trip is shaping up to be an amazing adventure, filled with new experiences and memories we can cherish! Year 12s are really looking forward to it. Big thanks to Mr Chaudry for preparing all this trip, it sounds brilliant!
