What to Expect

You will be introduced to many of the fabulous creatures that inhabit our exhibits as well as what it takes to keep them healthy. We will be going behind the scenes and in “staff only” areas throughout the program. These areas require you to wear closed-toed shoes. In order to participate in the program, you must have the proper footwear. Flip-flops and other sandals are NOT permitted. Please wear clothes that can get a little dirty.

All other materials for the program will be provided by the Education department. All activities are based on requirements so you will not need any handbooks. Come ready to have a great time and have tons of fun!


Appropriate Behavior

To make your program educationally rewarding and enjoyable, we request that you review the following guidelines prior to your visit. Adult participants are responsible for the behavior of the children accompanying them. Stay with the program instructor at all times, whether inside or outside the building. Cooperate with the program instructor and follow guidelines that he/she gives. Please be considerate of other participants and guests. Downtown Aquarium is home to many animals. Please do not tap on exhibit windows, put hands or other objects in the water, feed anything to the animals, or handle any animal without permission from aquarium staff. No outside food or drink is allowed in the building. Please pick up after yourself - help us keep the classrooms, exhibits and restrooms clean.

Special Needs

If a participant has any special needs, allergies, or health concerns, please contact us to make any accommodations. Program participants must be able to administer their own medication (i.e. inhalers, epi-pens) if needed, as aquarium staff and volunteers are not permitted to administer medication. If the program participant has severe disabilities, you must arrange for the participant to be accompanied by an adult caregiver and contact the Education department prior to the program date. There will be no additional charge for adults attending with disabled participants. If you have any additional concerns or questions please contact one of our Education program sales and service representatives at the above number.
