You can totally immerse your students in Science with a full day visit to CERN. Take a look at the range of captivating experiences your scientists can enjoy. Please note that all CERN visits must be booked directly with school.
Explore the forefront of scientific discovery at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research. Here, physicists and engineers probe the fundamental structure of the universe using some of the world's most advanced scientific instruments. Discover the essence of matter through the high-speed collisions of particles near the speed of light. Your scientists can dive into CERN’s research activities and technological achievements by joining a guided tour with CERN physicists and engineers.
A comprehensive three-hour guided tour includes an introductory film, visits to experimental areas, and an accelerator and is led by CERN's volunteer staff members.
We advise you make your visit to CERN a full day, so alongside your 3-hour guided tour you can enjoy all areas of the CERN Science Gateway including exhibitions, science shows and workshops.
Please note: All guided tours and exhibition visit to CERN are free, must be booked directly by the school with CERN and you are advised to book early.
CERN Science Gateway is a place to explore CERN and science through authentic, innovative and inspirational experiences. It is CERN’s new education and outreach centre, where visitors are taken on a unique journey building on the physical proximity to CERN, its accelerators, detectors, facilities and people.
Through immersive multimedia exhibits, hands-on lab workshops, science shows, events that blend science and culture, innovation-prototyping workshops and tours of authentic CERN places – all guided by CERN people – visitors of all ages and backgrounds can engage in the discoveries, the science and the technologies of CERN.

Every year in June Next Generation Travel host the Earth Summit STEM and Geography event at Keele University.
This 2 day event brings together STEM and Geography students to explore the science of climate change, through presentations and workshops with the scientists, experts and businesses involved in making positive change to our impact on the world and climate.
This conference no only covers a number of Gatsby benchmarks for STEM and Geography GCSE and A Level supporting learning in the classroom, it will give students ideas for future careers.
Staying on the Keele University campus, gives students their first experience of university life.
