- Please note: for schools/groups bringing sacked lunches to enjoy in the food court following your visit, SEA LIFE cannot store lunches on-site. We ask that you keep them stored in your school bus/vehicle.
- Please note: There is no re-entry into the attraction so if your group is planning to enjoy lunch, please plan on eating before or after your visit.
- 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.
