Schools on Trains

Amtrak Hiawatha Schools on Trains Chicago Milwaukee

For only $5 per person, each way, you can take your class on an exciting moving field trip aboard AMTRAK® HIAWATHA® Service between Milwaukee and Chicago.

Visit Chicago and go to the SHEDD AQUARIUM, ADLER PLANETARIUM or the CHILDREN'S MUSEUM at NAVY PIER. Or make the ride itself the main focus as your class enjoys the views out the window as the train passes through scenic southeastern Wisconsin and interesting North Shore Chicago landscapes.

Riding the train is fun for kids of all ages and the AMTRAK HIAWATHA "SCHOOLS ON TRAINS" program makes it easy for you to share this memorable experience with your class.
