About OLLI Day Trips

OLLI day trips offer engaging destinations such as museums, historic sites, theater performances, and local attractions. Each trip is thoughtfully planned for learning, enjoyment, and convenience, and includes a meal, so you can relax and enjoy the experience. 

Please plan for a full day, as motorcoach trips typically run from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Trip details will be announced via email in the days leading up to the trip.

Cancellation Policy for Day Trips

Day trips are non-refundable unless your spot can be filled from the trip’s waitlist. If filled, you will receive a refund of your registration fee minus a $10 cancellation fee. Ticket transfers must be completed at least one week prior to the trip.

If the university closes due to weather or other circumstances, day trips will still operate as scheduled unless you are directly notified of a change.
