What are they and what do they involve?
Themed attractions are venues focused on one very specific topic (for example, a Doctor Who exhibit), and therefore the contents vary between each establishment! Themed venues such as these often involve hands on interaction and guided tours, and give exclusive behind the scenes glimpses that you won’t find outside of the venue!
What are the benefits?
A themed attraction can give a level of detail into a subject that is hard to match elsewhere, so if there is a venue that emphasises classroom learning, a trip to one of these establishments can be a great accompaniment to a student’s education! Getting out of school and interacting with learning in a different manner is always useful, and a themed attraction can be extremely beneficial in this area.
What students is it suitable for?
While themed attractions are generally suitable for all ages, the focused nature of such venues means you should ensure your students have a certain level of interest for the topic in question.
Costs?
The cost of accessing a themed attraction will vary greatly between individual venues – some establishments can be very large and popular and therefore more expensive to visit than smaller organisations.
Safety Implications?
Any possible safety worries will depend on the exact nature of the venue, so make sure to check with the attraction beforehand if you are concerned.
