Taking your child out of school for the day simply to visit an entertainment theme park would have been frowned upon once, but school leaders have the chance to do just that now, thanks to Dubai Parks and Resorts’ (DPR) new in-park learning programme.

In a bid to support school curriculums, DPR is turning its grounds into a classroom by launching an educational school programme that takes learning to the next level and brings education to life beyond the classroom.

These highly experiential programmes will take place in the information-rich setting of Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai and Legoland Dubai, to give students and their teachers a hands-on, educational adventure. Each package includes fun and engaging challenges and workshops to expand students’ knowledge and skills on various aspects of the theme park, and the entertainment and edutainment industry.

The collection of guided field studies spans the fields of arts, entertainment and science, designed to reinforce lessons learnt in the classroom. Students of all ages are given a chance to practice teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving skills as their groups participate in one-of-a-kind experiences.

There are a mix of five or seven day packages to school students of all ages, attending in groups of 10 or more.
