Sea Life Park Field Trip Packet IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS/LEADERS

Aloha and thank you for booking a field trip with us! In order to avoid delays on Education programs, and to assure a quick and orderly entrance into

the park please follow these directions: (Giving a copy of these directions to chaperones before arrival is advised)

* Educational Programs are subject to change due to staff availability and weather.

1. Arrivals

• Unless otherwise mentioned, all groups participating in an additional Education Program will

need to arrive by 9:15AM to ensure adequate check in time. • We cannot always guarantee a staff member to greet your group if you are not participating in an

education program. -Please have buses drop off and pick up in front of the ticket office, which is right after the bus

stop, and not at our back gate. -Please have students, teachers, and chaperones quickly and safely exit the bus, and proceed into

the gated area and wait to enter the park until they all have a wristband attached. -Please have all students in lines with chaperones in the front and back to ensure a quick wristband application.

• Important: Late arrivals may be subject to program cancellations or shortened programs. • If you are scheduled for a 9:30AM Hawaii Ocean Theater Show-please sit in the Reserved Seating

area, but be sure to vacate that area by 9:50AM. • If you are watching the 10:00AM Hawaii Ocean Theater Show-please do not sit in the Reserved

Seating area.

2. Payment

-For every 10 paying students, 1 adult is free (groups must be 10 or larger to receive reduced rates) Teachers, chaperones, parents and 1-on-1 aids are all included in the adult count.

• All payment must be made upon arrival unless otherwise arranged. • Before approaching the ticket office you must have accurate payment and student/adult counts

ready. • All payments must be made in one transaction. Any late or additional guests will have to pay

the full admission price (Kama‘aina Rate = $20 Adults/ $15 children + tax). • Please bring checks the day of the field trip. They can be made out to Sea Life Park.

-There are no refunds after payment has been made. Sea Life Park will only refund if your prewritten group check is over the amount of admissions. This will only be done at the time of initial payment. Any refunds over $100.00 will be referred to Sea Life Park’s Accounting Department.

Payment (cont.)

-Sea Life Park will only accept personal checks from teacher/group leader if they are paying for the entire group. • If paying with a credit card, the card holder MUST be present to process payment. If this is not

possible, please contact our education department at education@sealifeparkhawaii.com and we will arrange for a plan of payment over the phone.

• Cash payments must be made in one lump sum. • If paying with a Purchase Order, this must be pre-arranged with the Education Department and we

must have a billing address ahead of time. The Purchase Order must be brought upon arrival with a P.O. number and billing address included.

3. Late Arrivals: (options)

• Please leave first and last names of participants arriving late with our ticket office. They will

wristband them once their names are verified. • Or, have them pay Kama‘aina rate upon arrival. If names have not been left with ticket office

staff of late arrivals, they will be charged Kama‘aina Rate.

4. Season Pass Holders

Any child or parent that has a season pass can use their season pass for free admission into the park. They must present their season pass to the ticket office at the same time as the teacher who is taking care of the group payment. They will receive their own wristband for admission and should not be counted as a part of your student/adult count.

5. Lunches

is visible. • Student lunches may be stored in a small room on the turtle side of the 3D theater. That door

needs to be unlocked by a member of Education who will be available on the other side of the theater at 10:30AM and 11:30AM for lunch pick up! Please see location on map attached.

• Due to limited space and easier travel through the park, please bring your lunches in roller carts/coolers, or a box.

Picking up lunch from storage is available at 10:35AM and 11:35AM. Please advise

which time works for your group.

RESPECT ALL ANIMALS AND PARK PROPERTY Please do not tease, feed, or touch any animal without permission and supervision of a Sea Life Park Staff member. All animals are potentially dangerous, whether in a marine park, zoo, or the wild. Intentional property damage is unacceptable and will affect future visits. Adventure Kids Play Zone is a fun zone for Elementary School children. Please follow this guideline as we want to keep the Play Zone safe and fun for all. We reserve the right to ask any unruly groups to leave the premises. PLEASE STAY OUT OF ROPED AND RESTRICTED AREAS

These areas are off-limits for your safety, as well as the safety of the animals. Please do not lean into or put hands in the pools or other habitats. STICK TOGETHER

Students, regardless of their grade level, are not allowed to wander the park unsupervised. Chaperones are responsible and accountable for accompanying students and maintaining group supervision throughout the entire visit. Again, we reserve the right to ask any unruly groups to leave the premises.

OUTSIDE FOOD AND BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED Outside food and beverages are not permitted in the park. The only exception has been made for school groups. If you would like to arrange for your group to have their brown-bagged lunches at Sea Life Park, please call the school reservationists at 808-259-2512. Lunches are scheduled from 10:30am-11:15am and 11:30am -12:15pm in the Hawaiian Ocean Theater. If a group is found eating in the Sea Lion Café, they will be asked to move. Plastic bags are not permitted in the park. They are hazardous to our animals.

IF SOMETHING IS ACCIDENTLY DROPPED INTO AN ANIMAL EXHIBIT,

PLEASE BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF A SEA LIFE PARK STAFF

MEMBER IMMEDIATELY! Sunglasses, pencils, hats, coins, and slippers are some objects that have been pulled out of animal enclosures. Objects like these can be extremely harmful to an animal. If someone drops something into an animal enclosure, please find a Sea Life Park staff member immediately so they can remove the object.
