Excursions To Discovery

Bring your students’ learning to life with a school excursion to the Discovery Science and Technology Centre. Students can explore over 100 interactive exhibits, take on the 7-metre Vertical Slide, and journey through the stars in our Planetarium.

Our team of expert science explainers guide students through curriculum-linked activities that make abstract concepts tangible and fun. Excursions can be tailored for early learners through to secondary students, with options to focus on physics, chemistry, space, forces, or digital technology.

From hands-on workshops to immersive shows, a trip to Discovery is the ultimate classroom adventure, one that sparks curiosity, teamwork, and a love for learning.
