Paradise Park is an activity park in a natural setting that has run sports and hands-on programs for schools since 2001. Kids ride a pony and a horse-drawn cart, try archery and climbing, and meet the mammals and birds on its farm.

Workshops cover chocolate (with a one-meter chocolate fountain), clay on a 1950 potter's wheel, and bread, plus a Greek myth program with a Trojan Horse and a labyrinth.
