Münster, Germany with your class
Day two centres on the Zoo School — a structured educational workshop followed by free exploration of one of Germany's finest zoos. Day three delivers a double hit: a 90-minute workshop on the Earth, Moon, and Solar System, followed by a full planetarium show on environmental stewardship. Day four takes children to a living open-air farm museum for a hands-on bread-making workshop in a historic 19th-century village setting. In between, children walk the medieval Prinzipalmarkt, explore the Botanical Garden, stroll along the lakeside promenade, and discover the grounds of Münster Castle — building a genuine sense of a real, beautiful, foreign city.
On the Move holds ABELIO safety certification and operates to L'Office quality assurance standards — every trip is managed by a dedicated project manager with 24/7 emergency support.
