One of the primary objectives of the park is education. The concept we use is of “ learning through experiencing”. The theme park provides the perfect environment for this concept, there is sufficient space and opportunity for realising a great many different aspects.

The villa with its associated buildings, the temple, the small fort and the Batavian village provide a setting that is both educational and fun. By experiencing the story and actively partaking in the various activities, a deeper insight is reached into the world of yesteryear. Also how it was to have been a child in Roman times.

Schools and groups are welcome all year round. Students gain knowledge of the life in the times of the Romans and Batavians and can relate this to their own present day lives. Schools are attracted by a program that starts in the classroom.

By making available “educrates” filled with teaching materials, such as replicas, booklets, assignments and blueprints the students receive inspiring pre-information about there school trip. They can construct items of clothing and implements to be used when visiting the park and obtain background info on the buildings and dwellings they will be visiting. Of course it is also possible for schools just to partake in the day-programs which have been prepared, but will risk missing the deeper insight … and the joy of anticipation. For groups how want to stay overnight, there is a special program. The evening meal is prepared over open charcoal fires, the attendants help in preparing the meal. Round the campfire a travelling storyteller will tell tales of everyday life and of exiting happenings further away in the Roman Empire. Often, these stories will be based on actual archaeological discoveries, brought to life by the story.
