The London Eye

Merlin Entertainments School Trips

Why book 'The London Eye' with Merlin Entertainments for School Trips and Educational Visits?

We literally take learning to new heights but before you board your classroom in the sky, we recommend that you begin your journey through the human and physical geography of London within your four classroom walls. Free to download on our website, we have planned out some unforgettable lessons that reinforce important aspects of the curriculum. Your class will start with a game of Landmark Detective Files before getting creative with ideas and concepts for their very own attraction. To finish they will reflect post visit as they compare and contrast changing skylines.

Our exclusive education rates are £9.95 per pupil from September to March and £15 between April and July.
