• Re-entry is not permitted
• The Aquarium and Gift Shop are cash-less and only accept credit card payments.
• Schools should plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. This will allow time for the group leader to check in and SEA LIFE Aquarium staff to organize the group and go over any necessary rules for the day!
• Larger schools and groups are divided into smaller group segments and entry is staggered to avoid congestion and satisfy capacity regulations.
• Buses may drop and collect students at the District 7 entrance; buses must park only in the designated bus parking area located in the outer perimeter of the parking lot near AMC Theaters.
• Groups exit the Aquarium and assemble outside. In the interest of public safety, groups are not permitted to gather in the admissions or retail areas.

VISITOR CONDUCT

Teachers and chaperones are responsible for supervising students at all times and ensuring appropriate behavior. Disruptive or unsafe conduct, including running, yelling, or not following staff instructions, may result in removal from the attraction without refund. SEA LIFE Aquarium reserves the right to deny admission or remove individuals or groups who do not adhere to these behavioral expectations.
