From our world-famous Theme Parks, nearby attractions, local museums, and our on-site amenities, you’ll be sure to find endless ways to learn, grow, and laugh together! Plan your field trip to beautiful Orlando, FL today.

When it comes to theme parks, most people would think about the nostalgia of seeing old characters, hearing the music, getting a thrill at the roller coasters and enjoying quality time with loved ones. BUT, if you take a closer look, one can’t fathom just how much work it took to make each little detail. From the way each little character moves at It’s A Small World, to the magic of Haunted Mansion and more, you can easily see how important Science, Technology, Art, Geography, History, and most importantly Math plays a part in making the parks wonderful.
