I'm going to keep this list updated as I discover new locations. Please email any suggestions my way, or add them as comments below. Also, I've rated the items below as we visited them.
**** Four stars indicates a must-see.
*** Three stars indicate good field trip, but pre-planning and lesson materials should be created beforehand for the field trip.
** Two stars indicates a fair field trip, but one requiring either too much money or inadequate materials for viewing and learning.
* One star indicates a no-go.
