Parents/Guardians: each child must be accompanied by an adult guardian for the entire session. This is not a “drop-and-go” experience.

Guided Access: this is a fully guided program. At the completion of each session, your Guide will farewell you at the exit – all day Standard Entry to AQWA is not included. Over the course of the 8 weeks, most exhibits/aquariums will be visited during the guided tour component of the session.
