Sci-Enza Science Centre & Union Buildings
Hands-on science at South Africa's oldest interactive science centre (UP campus), followed by the Union Buildings.
About this tour
This Sci-Enza and Union Buildings combo school tour pairs two of Pretoria's best learning sites in one day, perfect for Grade 1–12 learners. It blends a CAPS-aligned Science morning with a powerful History and Civics afternoon — a Gauteng favourite for full-day excursions.
At Sci-Enza, on the University of Pretoria campus, learners enjoy a science show with experiments in the Auditorium, followed by a hands-on experience on the exhibition floor — learners can play with the science exhibits and then head up to the Camera Obscura to have a look out over Pretoria. The group then heads to the Union Buildings — the official seat of government — to learn about South Africa's leadership, the Mandela statue, the architecture of Herbert Baker and the views over the capital.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, both site visits, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested combined school tours in Gauteng.
