An '''excursion''' is a trip, usually made for [[leisure]], [[education]], or [[Physical exercise|physical]] purposes. It is often an adjunct to a longer journey or visit to a place, sometimes for other (typically work-related) purposes.

[[Public transportation]] companies issue reduced price '''excursion tickets''' to attract business of this type. Often these tickets are restricted to off-peak days or times for the destination concerned.

Short excursions for education or for observations of natural phenomena are called [[field trip]]s. One-day educational field studies are often made by classes as extracurricular exercises, e.g. to visit a natural or geographical feature.

The term is also used for short military movements into foreign territory, without a formal announcement of war.<ref>[http://www.newsweek.com/id/181329 An example of this use in a ''Newseek'' article]</ref>
