School Groups

🏫 School Visits to The Oaks

​

Where Magic, Nature, and Curiosity Come Alive

​

At The Oaks, we believe education should be immersive, inspiring, and just a little bit magical. That’s why we welcome school groups for unique half-day or full-day experiences that blend science, sustainability, and storytelling.

🧠 The Illusion Museum

Step into the Unseen at The Oaks—where mirrors whisper, faces follow, and nothing is ever quite what it seems. Wander through a world where a single glance can awaken an enchanted portrait, a wand can unlock hidden treasure, and a table holds an infinite abyss beneath its surface. Watch your reflection speak with a mind of its own, vanish beneath an invisibility cloak, or tower like a giant atop a trick of perspective. Students are encouraged to question what they see and think critically about perception, reality, and the power of perspective. Our illusions aren’t just fun—they’re full of fascinating physics, psychology, and art.
