Excursions

Florida Mall

Located a short drive from Orlando International Airport and Walt Disney World®, the Florida Mall is a great excuse for some retail therapy, away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. Students can spend an afternoon or morning browsing through its vast array of retail outlets – from ZARA and H&M, to Sephora and the Apple Store.

Wonder Works

Combine education and entertainment effortlessly at Wonder Works, which is full of learning exhibits that we’ve seen challenge students’ minds and pique their curiosity. With over 100 interactive exhibits, school groups can feel the power of hurricane-force winds, make huge bubbles and even experience zero gravity in the Astronaut Training Gyro. A must-visit for science students, but an excursion that everyone will enjoy.

Kennedy Space Centre

One of our favourite excursions in Orlando, the Kennedy Space Centre promises to engage your students’ imaginations with a unique opportunity to tour NASA’s launch and landing facilities up close. Here, students will experience interactive simulators, live shows and encounters with rockets they’ll never forget – all as they develop their learning of space travel.

Universal Studios Orlando

Immerse yourself in the world of blockbuster movies at Universal Studios, where adrenaline fuelled rides, live shows and attractions bring the world’s most beloved films to life. Students will love the chance to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, travel to another planet with E.T., and zap aliens with the Men In Black.

Disney's Animal Kingdom

Explore wildlife from the Earth’s contrasting continents at Disney's Animal Kingdom, which includes themed areas based on the majestic lands of Asia and Africa. Home to a vast collection of wildlife in an ambient setting, Disney’s Animal Kingdom gives your students the unforgettable experiences of seeing a family of gorillas, a tribe of lions and a crash of rhinos – one of the most endangered species in the world – up close.

Disney World Park Tickets

Jump into the extraordinary world of Disney at Walt Disney World in Orlando – a huge entertainment resort complex hailed the “Most Magical Place on Earth”. Here, students can explore the most popular theme park in the world – Disney’s Magic Kingdom – as well as Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and two water parks: Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Take your students on a well-deserved escape to Disney’s® Hollywood Studios on this excursion, where epic excitement awaits you at every corner. From Star Wars to Toy Story, The Incredibles and Monsters Inc, this theme park is jam-packed with Hollywood-themed attractions we know they’ll love.

Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park

An exhilarating experience awaits at the unique waterpark of Blizzard Beach, which has several attractions atop the hill of Mount Gushmore, all based around snowsports. Slalom courses, bobsled and toboggan runs have paved the way for downhill waterslides, while the ski lift carries swimmers instead of skiers. We recommend a ride on Summit Plummet – the tallest, fastest free-fall slide in the world, towering 120 feet above the park.

Disney YES Programme

A unique learning experience inside the Disney World Resort, Disney’s Youth Education Series provides your students with hands-on activities in applied science and environmental studies, using the magic of Disney to reinforce their learning. We know your school group will love this behind-the-scenes experience of the parks, which can range from marine life conservation to learning the physics between the parks’ best attractions.

Disney's Epcot Centre

Dedicated to technological innovation, Epcot is one of the four main Disney parks and is the most educational in the complex, with several different sections centred on different applications of technology and science. We’ve seen students enjoy the park’s World Showcase in particular, which highlights the culture, cuisine, architecture, and traditions of 11 nations.

Disney's Magic Kingdom

The world’s most popular and well-known theme park, Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World® will bring all of your group’s childhood dreams to life! Take your pick from over 40 rides and attractions, with different themed areas and shopping outlets. We’ve seen dozens of everlasting memories created here.
