Inspiring Young Minds

The Brighton i360 Viewing Pod is the ideal experience to inspire and educate young minds of all ages. From learning about the city of Brighton from a bird’s eye view to discovering the innovative engineering and construction of the site.

School groups are invited onto Brighton i360 to glide up to 450ft in the spacious glass viewing pod to spot Brighton landmarks from up high, charting the city’s historical and contemporary landmarks. Further learning can then take place in the free exhibition, ‘Brighton i360: How it was Built’, which charts the pioneering engineering and design that place our attraction at the forefront of British architecture.

Brighton i360 offers educational experiences for KS1 & KS2 students. With lesson plans and curriculum-based activity sheets available to support your day trip to Brighton i360. In addition, classroom-based worksheets and learning resources are available that will help to extend the learning. Please enquire via email for more information.

Special rates are available for school groups – see below.
