Sea Life Park Field Trip Packet 2015
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 Education Program need to arrive by 9:00AM 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 (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 sticker applied to their shirts.
-Please have all students in lines with chaperones in the front and back to ensure a quick sticker
application.
• Important: Late arrivals may be subject to program cancellations or shortened programs.
2. Payment
•
Before approaching the ticket office you must have accurate payment and student/adult counts ready. If the
count is not ready, this could delay sticker application and possibly make a group late for a program or
show.
• If you do not pay for the correct number of persons the first time you will be billed for any additional
guests.
• 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).
• Checks can be made out to Sea Life Park and should be for the total amount of all participants.
-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
-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.
-Sea Life Park will only accept personal checks from teacher/group leader if they are paying for the
entire group.
3. Late Arrivals: (options)
•
If pre-paid with the group, someone from your group may wait at the ticket office with their entrance
sticker(s).
• You can also leave stickers labeled with guest and school names with ticket office staff.
• Or, have them pay Kama‘aina rate upon arrival.
If a representative from your group is not there to meet your late arrivals, or labeled
stickers have not been left with ticket office staff, they will be charged Kama‘aina Rate.
4. Stickers
•
•
Please ensure all participants are wearing a sticker on the upper right or left side of their shirt and that
they are visible, before entering the park.
The stickers serve as admission tickets therefore each sticker is worth the admission price you pay for
your group. We cannot give extra stickers unless they are paid for.
5. Lunches
•
•
We recommend school groups bring their own water since there is only one drinking fountain.
You may keep your lunches on the school bus as long as when you retrieve them, the admission sticker is
visible.
• Student lunches may be stored in a small room with a white door in the Sea Life Cafe restaurant located
at the back of the Restaurant. This small room is also a storage space, please be advised. There is a sign
that says “School Lunches”, 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.
• If you’re having lunch at the Park please abide by the following rules:
Eating lunch is only permitted at the Hawaiian Ocean Theater at one of the reserved times:
10:30-11:15am or 11:40-12:15pm
Please keep the area clean as loose trash can get into our animal enclosures and be a hazard for the
animals.
Please leave trash bags in the trash disposal area as shown on the map. There should be grey bins
available to put your trash in, if not please leave it along the rock wall of the Hawaiian Ocean
Theater.
•
PLEASE DO NOT USE PARK TRASH CANS for school lunches.
Overflowing trash cans create a dangerous situation for our animals.
6. Parking
•
If you are traveling in your own vehicle, each vehicle will be charged $2.00 for parking. Please make
sure you have $2.00 in cash to pay the parking attendant. Please let security know what group you are
with in order to receive the $2.00 discounted price for groups. Buses are not charged a parking fee.
* If you have any questions, please call the Education Department at (808)259-2512 or (808)259-2513 or
leave a message at [email protected].

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.

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.
