  Watch as your lesson plans come to life in our 11th-century style castle in Dallas!

     The history of life in the Middle Ages, knights, horsemanship, and chivalry are woven into a fun, interactive 90-minute show that your students will love! Our educational shows are closed to the public to ensure a safe and secure experience. The matinee includes an educational presentation followed by a live tournament where students can cheer for their knight as he competes to be named Champion of the Realm. Dine on a "hands-on" four-course lunch and witness authentic jousting, sword fighting, and medieval games of skill. Watch in awe as magnificent Andalusian stallions perform the beautiful art of dressage and a rare falcon takes flight above the Grand Arena. Homeschoolers welcome at every show with no group minimum! Can't make the matinee? All student groups are welcome to attend our public evening and weekend shows for a discounted rate. Digital study guides and lesson plans are provided or can be downloaded from medievaltimes.com to help support your curriculum. Good Student and Chivalry awards are available to reward students in the classroom. Medieval Times also offers exciting opportunities to host performance opportunities or award ceremonies at select castles. (less) ... Read more

  Enjoy our NEW Educational Video Series

     Newport Landing offers free educational videos, curriculum packets, activity sheets, whale and dolphin information plus fun and educational activities. LIVE FIELD TRIP INFORMATION: All students enjoy our $11 field trip whale watching cruise rate per person (retails for $37.50) Good for public schools, private schools, home schools, & all types of kids groups. Newport Landing provides multiple whale watching and dolphin cruises daily year round aboard our specifically built-for-whale-watching ships, the Ocean Explorer and the Legacy. Our cruises depart from Newport Harbor in Newport Beach. Newport Harbor is s surrounded by the famous coastlines of Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. On one of our whale watching cruises you can expect to see dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and, of course, whales. The winter and spring months bring the annual grey whale migration with over 10,000 gray whales participating and the summer and fall months, giant blue whales which migrate into the coastal waters in the hundreds to feed. Along with gray whales and blue whales, see humpback whales, minke whales, finback whales, and many species of dolphin year round. Over 2300 whales were viewed in 2019! Why are there some many whales just outside of Newport Harbor? The answer is the unique marine ecosystem which brings nutrient rich waters very close to shore. The unique ecosystem is so special that a 15 mile state marine protected park was created in 2012 to ensure this rich environment remains for generations to come. Reserve your $11 student cruises online at http://www.newportwhales.com/whalewatchingprices.html#reserve and on the last page of checkout enter Promo "11whale" in voucher code box and click apply voucher or just give us a call at 949-675-0551.
