Expert-Led Discovery Visits
Our award-winning, expert-led Discovery Visits are interactive, hands-on and immersive. Best of all, we lead them for you. At just £100 per session per class at selected sites, these visits are delivered by our site staff and volunteers with knowledge and expertise across the curriculum, and have been specifically designed to meet the needs of different groups across the key stages.
What are discovery visits?
Expert-led Discovery Visits are a great way to further examine a topic and site in greater detail. Managed by our site experts and tailored to align with the curriculum, learners can dress up, have a go at role play, crack some codes, or even become Royal servants.
Our sessions have been designed to help create unique and memorable learning experiences to help you bring the topic to life. Sessions last for about an hour and are typically accommodate 30 children. Search the list of places that offer Discovery Visits and enhance your trip.
Please book your visit online at least 14 days in advance. Have a look at our school visit site pages for full details on available facilities, workshops, free downloadable risk assessments and resources to support your trip planning.
