On our digital tour you can visit Disney World, explore NASA, walk through the Houses of Parliament, marvel at a drawing room in Windsor Castle, and spot the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.


Let's go exploring! #digitaltourism

 

Disney World


The Walt Disney World Resort opened in 1971, it covers around 25,000 acres near the Florida cities of Orlando and Kissimmee. Disney World has four theme parks - The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios, it also has two water parks, many themed hotels and its own transport system (including a monorail).


Disney World is a fun and exciting place to visit but if you're only in the thinking, planning or dreaming stage then why not take a virtual tour of the park! #disney

NASA


NASA stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA was launched (pardon the pun) in 1958 with an aim to discover more about space, our solar system and to investigate whether humans could travel into space. In 1969, NASA sent Apollo 11 to the moon and astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to step on the moon. Today, scientists at NASA continue to research outer space using telescopes, satellites and space exploration. They are also one of the space agencies who support the International Space Station. #NASA


You can virtually explore NASA's laboratories and space centres from the comfort of your own classroom!

Windsor Castle


Windsor Castle is a royal residence in the English town of Windsor, Berkshire. The castle is just over 20 miles away from Buckingham Palace in London.


There has been a castle at Windsor since the 11th century and over the centuries the castle has been expanded and renovated. It was the main residence of Queen Elizabeth II in the last years of her life. #windsorcastle


The castle is open to visitors throughout the year, but if you can't make it to Windsor you can take a virtual tour of the Waterloo Chamber, the Crimson Drawing Room and the State Banquet Room.
