Science School Trips

Science school trips abroad

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 science visit is the European laboratory for particle physics 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? Here you can learn about the history of American spaceflight, ‘train’ to be an astronaut and, if you’re lucky, perhaps even view a shuttle launch.

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.

Struggling to decide where to go on your science school trip? Please don’t hesitate to contact us – our experienced Tour Advisers know all our destinations extremely well and will be pleased to provide you with any further information or advice you require.

Why arrange a science school trip?

Show them the importance of science

A science school trip is a fantastic opportunity to bring science to life for students and show them its importance in the ‘real world’.

Whether its learning more about the science behind 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, a science school trip offers 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!

After your science school trip, your students will return home with 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 them excited about science!

Whether it’s space exploration or the exploration of the human body and all its intricate systems, a science school trip abroad offers plenty of opportunities to get your students excited about science.

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 science school trip 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, discovering 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 the science behind space exploration at the Kennedy Space Center. If you’re really lucky, you may have the chance to watch a launch!
