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.

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, for example, to visit a natural or geographical feature. 

An obsolete usage of term was also used for raids - short military movements into foreign territory, without a formal announcement of war.<ref>[https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/excursion Collins Dictionary]</ref>
