About this Event
This field trip is for Heartland Charter School students and their families.
It is important to use the correct student name when reserving tickets. Please do not purchase student tickets under the chaperone's name.
Join us at the Central Coast Aquarium to learn about sharks and rays. You’ll get to touch a shark and explore the exhibit hall. This field trip is for students ages 4-13.
In this class, students will separate fact from fiction and learn what makes sharks so different from other fish. At the end of lesson students will have the opportunity to meet-and-greet our friendliest (and sleepiest) sharks here in the aquarium.
This field trip will include an experiment about shark teeth and you will learn how different sharks are adapted to different types of prey. You will get to see swell shark eggs and be up close with baby swell sharks. There will be time to explore the exhibit hall and ask any questions you may have with an aquarium staff member. It’s going to be a great time! Please join us.
Please note: Face coverings are required for all participants according to aquarium guidelines.
We encourage families to turn in a sample that is linked to the field trip that you attended during your next learning period. It helps to ensure that we can continue to provide these trips and their educational value.
Heartland field trips are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family please indicate this when you register your student and let the field trip host know once you complete your registration. Any student that is registered without a chaperone will have their reservation canceled unless the family reaches out to the field trip lead and lets them know which registered chaperone will be responsible for their student.
**To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, please do not attend a field trip if you, your student(s), or anyone in your household is ill or showing possible signs of illness.**
*Masks will be required for all indoor field trips per California state guidelines.
Please read our refund policy!
Refunds will not be given. As a courtesy, if you are sick or unable to attend a field trip please contact the teacher that planned the event to let them know so they do not wait at the venue for you. You may not send a different family in your place as we will not have a waiver for them.
Can I pay using my funds?
Yes! You can pay for your student’s tickets with their planning amounts. You will need to choose the free Heartland Student ticket option. The actual ticket price will be manually debited from your student's planning amounts.
If the free Heartland Student ticket or Free Heartland Chaperone ticket is chosen and there are not sufficient funds to cover the cost of the ticket the order will be canceled and the tickets will be made available to other families. It is the responsibility of each family to know their current balance. This information is available in Procurify. (Take into account all pending orders. Please keep in mind that pending orders may cause your balance to change.) Please make sure that you have sufficient funds before purchasing tickets for field trips.
If a family mistakenly registers for a ticket that cannot be covered with planning amounts their tickets will be canceled and made available for another family.
Whenever possible we will list the option of paying out of pocket for field trips by using a credit card through Eventbrite. Any additional adults and/or non-Heartland enrolled students will need to use this option when purchasing tickets. (Eventbrite charges a small fee in order to offer this service.)
Does this trip have any height, weight, and/or age restrictions? This field trip is for students ages 4-13. Please do not bring younger or older siblings.
