As an instructor, you know the value of field-based learning opportunities, which are
not always available within the four walls of a classroom. Whether you have a class of
grade-schoolers looking for an up-close peek at the prehistoric world of Dinosaurs Alive!,
or students studying the principles of math and science, Valleyfair provides a dynamic
and engaging experience that is the perfect balance of enrichment and reward for
your students!
