How to Book a Field Trip

​

• Click on BOOK NOW button to fill out the form and pay the $25 deposit (check or credit card)

• No show groups and cancellations without at least 7 days notice will forfeit this deposit. If needed, you may reschedule to a future date if at least 7 days notice is given. 

• You will receive an invoice via email within a few days to submit to your admin office. Didn't get the email? Check your junk mail.

• A field trip host will reach out to get your final headcount 7-10 days before your visit and an updated invoice will be emailed then if there are changes. No changes are accepted less than 7 days prior to visit. Sorry, no refunds after final headcount is given. If more people come than original headcount they must pay at the door. Additional people outside of original headcount may result in larger group tour sizes as additional staff can not be added at short notice. 

• Please bring a check for the full balance when you come for your visit. If paying by credit card payments a 3.5% processing fee will be added.

​

TAX EXEMPT: If you are a tax exempt school (Louisiana schools only) and we have your R-1056 we will remove the tax from your invoice. If not, your invoice will include tax. You can upload your R-1056 form when you book, email it to fieldtrips@shreveportaquarium.com or bring it with you when you visit. All other schools please bring a check for the full invoice amount. We can not accept tax exempt forms from other states.

Day of Visit:

​

• IMPORTANT: Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your start time. Late arrivals, will experience delayed start times and shortened tours. Please call ahead if you are going to be late. You might need to wait until we are finished with another group before we can take you.

• Please be courteous, if your group is a no-show, you will not be able to re-book for 1 year and you will lose your $25 deposit.

• No flash photography, please!

• Be courteous and respectful. Talk quietly as you explore the wonders of the Aquarium. No running or horseplay.

• For our animals safety, please do not use pens or pencils inside the aquarium unless permitted by a staff member.

• Help protect the animals. When permitted, touch the animals gently using the two-finger touch method. Please do not disturb animals by tapping on the windows.

• Keep food, drinks and gum outside the aquarium. 

• Adults must stay with children and students at all times during your visit, regardless of the age of the student. 

• Don't forget to visit our Gift Shop, located at the end of the aquarium. We have special tax inclusive items bundles for your students for $10 and $20.

Lunch Options:

• Those who purchase our lunch option are welcome to enjoy their meal in our dining area or in our beautiful outdoor courtyard.

• No outside food is permitted in the facility, dining area or in the courtyard. Riverview Park next door makes a perfect location for a picnic lunch!

• Due to limited space, Shreveport Aquarium does not have a designated location to store outside food. Please plan ahead.
