MAGIC PLANET: An Inclusive, Educational and Safe Experience for School Children
A Perfect Experiential Learning Destination for CBSE & State Syllabus Schools in Kerala & Tamil Nadu
Imagine a place where mystery, science, art and joy come together — where every student, no matter their abilities or background, experiences magic in its purest form. That place is Magic Planet, the world’s first magic theme park, located inTrivandrum. Since its opening in 2014 under the vision of magician Gopinath Muthukad, it has become a space not just of entertainment, but of inclusion, inspiration and learning.
Why Magic Planet?
Magic Planet, located at KINFRA Film & Video Park, Trivandrum, is the world’s first magic-themed edutainment centre, blending performing arts, science, value education, and inclusion in a safe, child-friendly space.
It offers a day-long curated experience for school groups, aligned with academic goals and life skills education mandated by CBSE and State Boards of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Curriculum Integration
Why It’s Ideal for CBSE & State Board Schools in Kerala / Tamil Nadu
CBSE emphasises “Experiential Learning”, “Life Skills”, “Value Education” and “Art Education” in its curricular objectives. Magic Planet offers concrete experience in all those domains.
Kerala State syllabus is undergoing revisions to include constitutional values, gender sensitivity, inclusion, value‑based education. Bringing students to Magic Planet supports those goals.
Magic Planet complements curricular content without replacing it - teachers can use it as a field experience to reinforce theory (optics, drama, performing arts, etc).

A Stage for Differently‑Abled Children and Inclusive Performances
One of the signature strengths of Magic Planet is its commitment to inclusion: there are arenas and platforms for differently‑abled children to perform, share their talents, and be appreciated as equal stars.
Schools bringing students to Magic Planet not only provide a chance for disabled students to see themselves represented, but enable all students to see ability in diverse forms — fostering empathy, breaking stereotypes, and building a more inclusive community
Positives for Students & Schools
Inclusivity & Sensitisation: Differently‑abled children are not only welcome visitors but also performers, giving all students exposure to ability in diversity. Builds empathy and reduces stigma.
Holistic Development: Beyond academics—confidence, creativity, observation, ethical values. For CBSE schools which emphasize 21st‑century skills, and State board schools aiming for value classrooms, this is strong support.
Engagement & Motivation: Experiential, fun, memorable — a change from regular classroom, helping reinforce topics (science, arts, values). Students likely to retain more.
