Dreamed of being....
Is your dream to be an Artist creating amazing spaces for people to enjoy, or perhaps an Author with novels published around the world, or are you going to solve some of the world’s mysteries as a leading Scientist?
Whatever your dream is, Wake The Tiger, the world’s first Amazement Park, can spark your imagination and help set you on your path of discovery.
Want to be...
Wake The Tiger, in collaboration with education specialists, Learning Everywhere (CIC), have created an education programme suited to Key Stage 1, 2 & 3. Whether it be before or after your visit, or you’re not quite ready to bring a group, explore, engage, interact and share the material aligned to the National Curriculum, and see how school groups of all ages can ignite their passion and maximise their potential.
Completed activities can be uploaded here, where we will proudly display the work in our School Gallery, as a platform for sharing, learning and inspiring.
