Our science school trips provide fantastic opportunities for your students to learn in exciting, dynamic and challenging environments!
Educational visits offer school groups the opportunity to see their science curriculum in action. This helps them to better understand how the things they learn about in the classroom relate to the world around them.
Science school trips can also help to emphasise the importance of the subject and scientific learning as a whole. And this, in turn, can engage students and spark their curiosity in a topic – perfect for once you’re back in the classroom.
It might even go further than that. The right experience could also give students ideas for future careers. Our trips often involve meeting scientists working in a variety of fields that your students may be inspired to explore – so perhaps your next school science trip will take them further than you ever thought possible.

Our science trips for schools
We offer a wide range of science trips abroad and in the UK.
The world’s largest science museum, the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, is a must visit on a science school trip to Paris, where your students will learn about a range of environmental and technological themes.
Another unmissable visit is to the famous science centre at CERN in Geneva. A morning touring CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, is a unique and inspiring experience where your students will get to see scientific research in action.
For the more adventurous, why not try something a little further afield, such as Orlando and the Kennedy Space Center? On this educational trip you can learn about the history of American spaceflight, ‘train’ to be an astronaut in their interactive exhibits, and, if you’re lucky, perhaps even view a shuttle launch.
Or, if you want to learn about space travel but don’t have the time or budget to go all the way to Florida, Brussels offers the chance to visit the Euro Space Centre, Cologne is home to the German Aerospace Centre School Lab, and Amsterdam makes the perfect base from which to explore Space Expo, the European Space Agency’s visitor centre.
Still struggling to decide where to go? Please don’t hesitate to contact us – our experienced education team know all of our science trips extremely well and will be pleased to provide you with any further information or advice you require.
Why arrange a science school trip?
Show pupils the importance of science
Our science school trips can be specifically designed to bring your curriculum to life for students and show them its importance in the ‘real world’.
Whether its learning more about geothermal power and how its being used in Iceland to provide sustainable energy, to discovering how we can use the sun’s rays to clean water at the German Aerospace Center in Cologne, science school trips offer your students the chance to see how scientists are working to create a brighter, cleaner future for our environment.
In Paris, a visit to the Palais de la Découverte will help them to better understand the role that science has played in the development of civilisation.
And in Brussels, at Living Tomorrow, they’ll see how we could be living in the future, thanks to the work that scientists are doing right now!
Your students will return home after an enriching learning experience, resulting in a greater appreciation of the impact of science and its importance as a school subject. And who knows, perhaps you’ll have inspired the scientists of the future!
Get pupils excited about science
Whether it’s the exploration of the solar system or the human body, science school trips abroad offer plenty of opportunities to get your students excited about one of the most important STEM subjects.
All our destinations offer a variety of interactive visits and attractions that will show your students just how exciting science can be!
Geneva is one of our most popular destinations because it offers groups the opportunity to visit the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, CERN. Here, your students will see how scientists are working to answer some of the biggest questions about our universe.
In Amsterdam, you can visit the Corpus Museum, to take a journey through the human body, discover how it works, and why eating healthily and exercising are so important. In Cologne, you can see where Neanderthals were first discovered and what they tell us about the development of early humans.
You could even head to Florida, to learn more about science, engineering and problem-solving at the Kennedy Space Center. If you’re really lucky, you may have the chance to watch a launch!
