Description
Paultons Park, set in over 140 acres of beautiful garden, is home to over 70 rides and attractions. The stunning mix of rides, animals and gardens make it the perfect setting for a great school trip. We have been voted the number one Theme Park for four years running (TripAdvisor 2016-2020). Our simple booking procedure and thorough risk assessment procedures gives staff the confidence to book a visit without worry.
Whether you are taking part in one of the curriculum focused workshops, or using Paultons for a recreational trip, there really is something for everyone and suitable for Pre-school right up to KS5. New for 2021, our land 'Tornado Springs' has 8 new rides and attractions with thrilling rides for older students and gentle experiences for younger guests.
Paultons run a range of workshops from Key Stage One age right up to University students. Led by an experienced teacher and their team, we can offer bespoke programmes to meet any learning objective.
Workshops usually take place in our fully themed and immersive 'Learning Lab' and we cover a range of topics including forces, programming, biology and business. We also run a popular cross-curricular session entitled 'Theme Park Creator'. New for 2020, our literacy focussed workshop 'Power of Persuasion' will give children a great insight into persuasive devices as they write their own radio ad.
For older students, we run focussed 45 minute class based talks covering subjects such as Customer Service, Marketing and a business overview - all of which can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the group. We also run an energy transfer session out in the park - using our biggest rides as a base for the study.
Paultons holds the CLOTC quality badge and employ an Education Officer full-time. Therefore, there is always somebody on hand to answer your questions and guide you through every stage of your trip preparation.
