HOME SCHOOL
DAY
1.
Do I need to make a reservation to attend?
No. Simply tell our admissions staff that you are a home school
family when you purchase your ticket on the day of the event to
receive the discounted rate.
2.
My entire home school group would like to attend together. Do we
have to make a reservation?
Groups of ten or more students have two choices for home school day:
making a group reservation or asking each family to pay separately upon
arrival. If you choose to pay separately, there is no need to worry
about calling ahead to make a reservation or to collect money in
advance. If you choose to make a group reservation, one person will
represent the entire group and pay for everyone upon arrival. Your
group representative will also be responsible for calling at least one
week prior to the event to make the reservation, including the number
of students expected to attend. When
making an advance reservation only, one adult chaperone for every
ten students will be given free admission.
3.
Do I need proof of home schooling?
No. Just tell the admissions staff you are a home school family
and we’ll take your word for it.
4.
Can students tour the Aquarium alone?
As with any other education group, we do require that students
be supervised by an adult during the duration of your visit.
5.
What education activities will be offered that day?
A detailed schedule of events will be available online soon as
well as the day of the event. Feeding dives, behind-the-scenes
tours, live animal encounters and other education programs will
be offered throughout the day. Educational activities will be
available for you to complete with your child.
6.
Are there any education materials available to prepare my child
for our visit or to complete as we explore the Aquarium?
Yes! Check out our AquaGuide,
AquaQuests, Scavenger Hunts and more on our Downloadable Activities page.
7.
Where do we go for lunch?
No food or drinks are allowed in the Aquarium; however picnic
tables are located just outside the Aquarium for your convenience.
Coolidge Park is a local favorite – just a quick walk or
drive across the river, this park has plenty of green space for
picnics. If you’d like to purchase your lunch, a concession
stand is located on the Aquarium plaza. Many restaurants are within
walking distance.
8.
I can’t attend on the date you have planned. Will you hold
another home school day?
We currently offer two home school days per year – one in
September and another in January. Specific dates will be posted
as they are planned.
