Business studies school trips to Brussels

Often referred to as the symbol of Brussels and Belgium, the Atomium is the city’s top attraction – and not just because of the futuristic structure’s viewing platform, which offers panoramic views of the city. Inside, students can also explore the Atomium’s structure, which is often compared to the inside of a spaceship and houses several exhibitions.

Discover the beauty of the dark night sky in one of the largest planetariums in Europe at the Planetarium of the Royal Observatory. Beneath a semi-spherical dome, school groups can embark on a magical journey where the Sun, the Moon, the planets, the Milky Way and more than 8500 stars can be projected.

Let your students fall in love with science at Technopolis. Whatever their age or ability, there’s a scheme set out to boost their imagination here, from the exhibits in the interactive Science Garden to learning about hydropower and the forces of the sea, and even the opportunity to carry out their own experiments! An excellent option for a science-centred school trip.
