Road Scholar has thousands of educational adventures to choose from. A good way to narrow down our list is to browse our collection of "Most Popular" programs.
See all of our Most Popular programs.
EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.
Discover Chicago’s vibrant history, art and sophisticated cultural scene as you examine the Windy City’s signature landmarks, neighborhoods and outstanding museums. Enjoy expert-led visits to the famed Art Institute of Chicago and Field Museum of Natural History. Explore the Financial District and eat lunch in the historic Walnut Room. Experience the city’s new waterfront parks that stretch for miles along the renewed lakefront. By the end of this exciting adventure, you’ll be singing “This is my kind of town, Chicago is, my kind of town …”

• Examine Chicago’s growth and learn about the “Great Fire” on a professor-led field trip through the city’s diverse neighborhoods.
• At the newly renovated Chicago History Museum, discover the city’s legacy as a crossroads of America’s past and future.
