The BBC Earth Experience offers a unique adventure which you cannot find anywhere else. Unrivaled in scale and spectacle, this is a world of endless discovery, wonder and learning.

School visits are only available during term time and groups are welcome from 2 May 2023. Each booking includes access to an indoor classroom space, with dedicated toilets nearby. The experience is self-guided with curriculum-based activity booklets which you can complete either on site or back in your own classroom. The resources are curriculum linked and include Teacher Guides for each key stage booklet.
The experience immerses visitors into the natural world where they will meet the wonderful and extraordinary animal inhabitants of our seven continents, with narration by David Attenborough. Our activity booklets are designed to inspire children and develop their understanding, empathy and desire to protect the planet. This is an Experience which can be enjoyed by all, no matter the Key Stage.
