The Earth Balloon is a highly detailed twenty foot model of the earth using state of the art, high resolution satellite imagery. Students explore and learn geography and science concepts as they travel around our planet on a mission of discovery. The most exciting part of the Earth Balloon experience is when students go inside the Earth Balloon to learn geography concepts in a new and exciting way. The Earth Balloon requires an indoor area with a 17 foot ceiling.

Earth Walk is a 16' X 20' foot floor map of the continental United States featuring high-resolution satellite imagery. Students explore and learn geography and science concepts while traveling throughout the various regions of our Country.
