What is ODE Education...

We have split the Dynamic Earth experience into three separate offerings to ensure that you are able to make the most of your visit. If time is an issue you can pick'n'mix to decide which activity is most important to you.

Our Dynamic Earth Tour    90 minutes

Our Dynamic Earth invites you on a journey back in time 15,000 million years. Your pupils will fly over glaciers as they carve out our planet's surface before outsmarting dinosaurs facing extinction. They will feel the Earth move as a volcano explodes beneath their feet and experience the chill of Polar Extremes before embarking on 4DVENTURE, Scotland's only 4D experience. Touch, smell, feel the adventure as your pupils take a flight from Polar regions to the Tropical Rainforest.
