What makes you a great choice for educational visits


We are closed to the public; school trip days are dedicated to school trips only.
A totally stress-free experience for teachers: Doors are locked and your day is totally structured and organized by our staff from arrival to departure
Coaches drop off right outside the entrance in our private car park where you will be greeted by a member of staff and then led inside
Each school will be given its own introductory talk informing teachers and children of how the day will run and packed lunch arrangements.
You will then be guided throughout the day to all the various shows, workshops and exploration of all four zones.
We look after all craft and workshop creations and pack them up and give to the teachers at the end of the day.

“A big thank you for a wonderful day at Imagine That this week. Our staff were highly impressed with the organisation and structure of the day. The activities were fantastic, well planned and organised and enjoyable by all. The children all had a great time and can’t wait to visit you again. (It was the best day ever!)
We will definitely be back in the future!
Many thanks
