Educational & Cultural Trip to Berlin, Germany

Guided tours of Berlin

• Brandenburg Gate: the symbol of German unity
• Pariser Platz and the Reichstag exterior
• Checkpoint Charlie: the famous East-West border crossing.
• Berlin Wall Memorial: see an actual preserved section of the Wall and the “death strip” area, view memorial markers for those who attempted to escape, and visit the Documentation Center’s viewing platform.

Along the way, students hear age-appropriate stories about Berlin’s history.

• German Museum of Technology: 150+ hands on science experiments. See historic steam locomotives, vintage aircraft (including a famous Rosinenbomber “candy bomber” plane mounted on the museum roof), old cars, and even a hands-on exhibit about film technology

Democracy in Action

• Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building: learn about the functions of Parliament and the history and architecture of the building. Climb up to the glass dome atop the Reichstag (weather permitting). Walk the spiral ramp with stunning 360° views of Berlin.
• Natural History Museum: experience the jurassic world. See the towering 13-meter-high Giraffatitan dinosaur skeleton, other jurassic gaints, fossils, meteorite rocks and other animal exhibits, making paleontology exciting and accessible.

• Visit selected Universities: guided walks around the university to explore classrooms, lecture halls, labs, dorms, and libraries.
• Admissions Info Sessions: Presentations by admissions officers explaining application procedures, requirements, and financial aid.
• Sample Lectures or Workshops: Attend a real university class or a special session designed for prospective students.
• Career Services Overview: Explore how the university supports internships, job placement, and career development.

Combine extraordinary animal experiences with natural science teachings. The educator will take us to see a selection of star animals – for example, the African elephants, the big cats, and the petting zoo area for close encounters – while teaching about animal classification, habitats, and conservation.

Observe how the zoo’s penguins, polar bears, etc are fed or. Learn fun facts (like how to tell an African elephant from an Asian elephant by its ears) and bigger themes like why zoos participate in endangered species breeding programs. Tierpark’s programs cleverly blend animal excitement with science lessons aligned to school curricula, so our students will be learning (about biology, ecology, zoology) without it feeling like school.

Scenic boat cruise on the Spree River in central Berlin. As we glide on the water, an audio guide or live guide (in English) points out sights: we’ll pass Museum Island with its grand museums, float by the Reichstag’s glass dome, and see the ultra-modern buildings of the government quarter from the river side.

Shopping and final departure preparations.
