Visiting the aquarium with your school is a great way to bring education alive. We offer many interactive opportunities for your students to learn more about marine environments. Most of our programs are correlated to state standards. Please contact us for more details on correlations.
Chaperone Policy Change
Starting this fall, all chaperones will have to be paid for by the school in advance. This change to the policy for School Group chaperones will begin September 3rd, 2024. NC School students and school staff will still be offered one free admission annually to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher and the fee for chaperones will be $10 (+ tax) per person. Only chaperones included in the group reservation will receive the discounted rate for the school to purchase in one transaction. If other parents, siblings, or adults visit the aquarium at the same time as the school group they will need to pay the general admission rate or use their membership benefit. Tickets for each individual visiting must reserve in advance. Only chaperones paid for by the school will be considered official chaperones and given a chaperone sticker. They will be expected to stay with the school group for the entire visit.
