About

Presented as a video field trip and utilizing live-action geographical footage, children’s outings are no longer confined to the local library or fire station. Courtesy of Inspector Gadget and his “Gadget-Guided” international tour, kids can now visit such faraway places as the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal or the NASA Space Center. Already enamored with the humorous Inspector Gadget, learning will be fun while children expand their geography and knowledge of foreign lands.
