October is a great time for a school trip to New York. The weather is mild, and the crowds are more manageable, making the city easier to explore. Students can also see Central Park in its autumn colours. If October doesn’t fit your school calendar, April is another good option, with spring temperatures and cherry blossom season in full swing.
