Orlando may be home to the 'Most Magical Place on Earth', but that's just the tip of the iceberg of what Orlando delivers for an educational tour for school groups. From 'out of this world' Space experiences, to 'magical' Disney workshops and 'Gator-iffic' animal encounters, there's something for every student in Orlando. Here are top five must do student experiences when your school visits Orlando.
Kennedy Space Center
The Kennedy Space Center is the pinnacle educational attraction in Orlando, and no educational tour is complete without visiting the centre. For STEM students, there are 3 and 5 day Space Camps available as well as 1 day workshops including the Astronaut Training Experience. These STEM experiences are world class and will give your students a true understanding what a career in space engineering or robotic programming could look like. For students who aren't STEM focussed, a visit to Kennedy Space Center is still a valuable and interesting experience. Included in a general admission is An Astronaut Encounter, Rocket Garden, Kennedy Space Center bus tour, Astronaut Training Simulators, and so much more. Read about what Kings College experienced on their 5 day camp at Kennedy Space Center on their Educating Adventures tour.
Universal Studios
A visit to Universal Studios is the perfect way to break up an educational focussed tour and stop to have some fun! For school groups travelling with Educating Adventures the most popular option is a day at Universal Studios and a day at Universal Islands of Adventure, where they take part in an Educational Workshop, 'Behind the Adventure'. In May 2025 the much anticipated 'Universal Epic - Universe' will throw open its doors, which will change the way school's experience Universal Studios. Stay tuned to see what this new additional will mean for student experiences.
Disney World
Performing Arts students, where are you? Time for you to listen up, as this one is for you. Disney World has incredible opportunities for performing arts students at their Disney Imagination Campus where students can take part in workshops such as: Soundtrack Sessions: Instrumental Workshops / Vocal, Dance Disney, Disney Broadway Magic and can even participate in Performances as a Marching Band or Stage Performances. Performing at Disney? This is what dreams are actually made of, and at Educating Adventures, we can make it into a reality.
Swim with Manatees
For students who love animals, an encounter with a manatee is going to be an experience you never forget. This is not a 'look at the manatees from a boat' kind of experience, this is a get into the water and get up close and personal with these affectionate and curious creatures.
Airboats
The Airboats take you along the Everglades where you can spot Gators, Butterflies, Birds and other native flora and fauna. For students with an interest in the environment, this will be an experience of a lifetime. Seeing Alligators in their natural habitat is about the most iconic Florida experience you can imagine.
