Earlier last week, we traveled to downtown Phoenix for a tour of our local PBS Station. It is run through ASU. The field trip itself was free, and over in about an hour. I would recommend it for someone with teenagers and older children. The station wasn't busy when we went. We got to see several studio rooms and the areas where people are working behind-the-scenes when they are taping or airing a live show. The big studio room was pretty impressive.
It would've been neat to be able to do some more hands-on things and have the actual people who work there show the kids how the equipment works. Years ago, we had visited a local broadcasting station and the camera guy turned the camera on the kids! This tour, however, really was more "tell" than "show".
