  All students enjoy our $11 field trip whale watching cruise rate per person (retails for $34)

     Good for public schools, private schools, home schools, & all types of kids groups. Newport Landing provides multiple whale watching and dolphin cruises daily year round aboard our specifically built-for-whale-watching ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Legacy. Our cruises depart from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is s surrounded by the famous coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. On one of our whale watching cruises you can expect to see dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and, of course, whales. The winter and spring months bring the annual grey whale migration with over 10,000 gray whales participating and the summer and fall months, giant blue whales which migrate into the coastal waters in the hundreds to feed. Along with gray whales and blue whales, see humpback whales, minke whales, finback whales, and many species of dolphin year round. Over 2200 whales were viewed in 2018! Why are there some many whales just outside of Newport Harbor? The answer is the unique marine ecosystem which brings nutrient rich waters very close to shore. The unique ecosystem is so special that a 15 mile state marine protected park was created in 2012 to ensure this rich environment remains for generations to come. Reserve your $11 student cruises online at http://www.newportwhales.com/whalewatchingprices.html#reserve and on the last page of checkout enter Promo "11whale" in voucher code box and click apply voucher or just give us a call at 949-675-0551.

  Interested in one of San Jose's oldest historical attractions? Visit The Winchester Mystery House!

     The Winchester Mystery House is the beautiful but bizarre mansion built by Sarah Pardee Winchester, heiress of the Winchester Repeating Arms fortune. Construction began in 1884, and didn't stop for 38 years until her death in 1922. Tormented by the guilt of Winchester Rifle victims, Mrs. Winchester built the dizzying Victorian-style structure with many odd and mysterious features. Doors that open to walls, stairways that lead to the ceiling, and many more oddities in the massive 160-room mansion. Open to the public since 1923, the Winchester Mystery House offers daily guided tours of the estate. New field trips and school group programs are now available on Tuesday - Thursdays at the Winchester Estate. For a limited time, children are $15 each and chaperones are $25, one free chaperone for every 10 students. The historical experience at the estate is a great way for kids to learn about Victorian architecture, Sarah Winchester and her influence on the Santa Clara Valley, and what life and work was like on the estate in the late 1800's. After the educational tour, students can have lunch in our private picnic area. Box lunches are available for only $10 per child. (less) ... Read more

Camp Pillsbury offers its campers the chance to fly on the trapeze, participate in musical theater, team sports (such as basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball), learn magic tricks, go horseback riding, tumble, dance, and play an instrument - all in the same day! Because each camper chooses the activities they participate in, they are spending their day with campers who share the same interests, helping form stronger bonds with new friends. The programs and classes we offer put an emphasis on activities that today's kids gravitate to.

Every program and activity is open to all age groups and all skill levels where we meet each child's individual needs and respect their individuality. Our day is comprised of 6 one hour periods; three Majors and three Minors. Majors are taken at the same time each day with the same staff and campers and is an activity that each camper has chosen to learn more about, get better at and be in the end of session show or exhibition. Campers choose three Minors each day that they can try once or repeat as often as they like. This allows campers plenty of opportunity to try new activities they have never been exposed to before. Campers thrive, building on existing interests and developing new ones. They flourish and excel in the areas they become passionate about and self-confidence soars. They become better singers, dancers, actors, athletes, artists, musicians and even students. Camp Pillsbury is helping kids from all over the world be successful through programs led by experts in a unique camp environment. Our campers learn from the best to be the best.
