Self-Guided Visit Request

A white wave shape.

Registration for field trips is now open through June 2025!

If you’d like a 60-minute educational program in our upstairs classrooms as part of your Aquarium field trip, please visit our on-site classes page instead of booking a self-guided visit. Please note: We are NOT able to change self-guided visits to on-site class programs after they have been booked.

Requests must be made at least two weeks before your desired date. School group rates are $10 per person for all attendees ages 4 and over. There is no admission charge for children ages 3 and under. College/university groups and homeschool families qualify for the school group rate—scout troops and other non-school groups do not. See below for information on scholarships.

After booking your program, you will receive more information to help your students prepare for their visit to the Aquarium. Please read all correspondence from registration@seattleaquarium.org carefully as we try to cover everything you need to know about what to expect from your field trip. Still have questions? Please visit our School Group FAQ. While the section is labeled “on-site classes,” much of this information still applies to self-guided visits (including answers about loading zones, lunch areas and more).

You may contact the registration office with questions at registration@seattleaquarium.org or (206) 693-6196. Please note that it may take two to three business days for you to receive a response. Our office hours are 8am–5pm PST, Monday through Friday.

Thank you!
