Guided Tour of CERN

Overview

We are CERN experts and this is our most popular school trip.

This is a truly inspiring and potentially life-changing trip for any aspiring scientist!  Learn about fundamental research and see deep inside the world's largest particle physics laboratory - excellent and official half-day tours of the centre follow a variety of themes (depending on the day) including ‘Detecting Particles', ‘Discovering Antimatter' or ‘The Accelerators of the Future'.

You can add further to your school trip to CERN by exploring the Microcosm exhibition or the exhibition in the Globe of Science and Innovation.
