Groups can explore cutting-edge exhibits at the Kennedy Space Center, uncover the natural wonders of Central Florida’s ecosystems, or go behind the scenes at the world’s most famous theme parks to discover how imagination and technology create unforgettable experiences. In Orlando, every moment is a lesson in curiosity and creativity.

Customize your trip to enhance the goals of your program:

Science comes alive at Orlando Science Center, featuring interactive exhibits in physics, biology, and environmental studies. For those interested in sustainability, programs at Leu Gardens or Gatorland reveal Florida’s unique ecosystems and wildlife. Every experience sparks curiosity and inspires a love for discovery.

Orlando’s blend of innovation and opportunity makes it ideal for TRIO student engagement. Interactive workshops and STEM-focused experiences at the Kennedy Space Center or Full Sail University connect students with real-world science and technology careers. Visits to University of Central Florida and local community organizations help strengthen college and career readiness through inspiring, hands-on learning.

Performing Arts (Band, Choir, and Orchestra)

From world-famous stages to magical parades, Orlando gives student performers the chance to shine. Groups can take part in adjudicated festivals, perform at Walt Disney World, or showcase their talents at Universal Orlando’s STARS Performance Program. Behind-the-scenes workshops led by industry professionals help students discover how music, sound, and performance come together to create unforgettable shows.

Gerber Tours is one of the best companies with which I have ever done business! I take my students on an 8th grade trip to Washington DC each year. They are totally dependable and trustworthy and have always delivered on their promises. I have taken our school to the East Coast with Gerber for 42 years and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Gerber Tours for all you need in group student travel.
