May 15, 16 & 22

How many times have you been asked to “have class outside” by your students? A trip to Valleyfair turns the Twin Cities’ premier amusement park into your own personal classroom. Students won’t be staring at the clock, waiting for class to be over; in fact, they might even beg you to let them stay and learn.

Who says all learning must happen at school? Give your students access to one of the world’s largest laboratories and put the principles of physics and science to the test in real world scenarios. Valleyfair partners with leaders in interactive education to deliver an impactful, hands-on STEM learning experience and action-packed fun opportunity.

Valleyfair provides you with FREE educational tools including student workbooks, educator guides and pre-trip classroom activities! Take a look by visiting valleyfair. com/curriculum.
