On April 9, 2026, the 5th-grade students traveled to The Exploration Place around 8 am, getting back around 3 pm after a long day.

Koda Clausen, a smart student in South Haven School, explains the details of his amazing adventure, saying, “The field trip was pretty nice, one thing I didn’t like was having construction the same day. The most exciting part was the rocket ships, and the uh, airplane stuck in the side of the lighthouse.” He explained his lunch and how much fun he had, and he encouraged other kids in the future to go to The Exploration Place.

Donald Dockery, another smart student in South Haven School, explains that he and Clausen enjoyed the rocket ship slide that The Exploration Place had at their park, despite there being some construction near the net climber.

“It was good, I liked the park, they had a rocket ship slide to climb up, and a web climbing net,” Donald explained, “I had a fun time, it was exciting.”

5th grade kids surely had a fun time, hoping to keep it going on for future kids in 5th grade.
