Scheduling / Booking
Instructions: To schedule a field trip or program, we must receive your completed registration form, available at www.dallaszooed.com or www.childrensaquariumfairpark.org, at least 2 weeks in advance of the requested date. You must include your ArtsPartners voucher number, approval code, and amount approved on your form. We will not schedule your field trip or program without this information. Your field trip or program is confirmed when you receive a confirmation letter from us which includes a reservation number. Field trips and programs cannot be scheduled at the Children’s Aquarium at Fair Park during the State Fair of Texas. Your school may still owe a balance if the total reservation cost is not covered by ArtsPartners.
Deadline: Field Trips must be scheduled at least 2 weeks in advance of requested date to receive the discounted admission rate.
Cancellation Policy: Your reservation may be rescheduled once without penalty. Reschedule dates should be at least two (2) weeks in advance. Additional reschedules will be charged $25 per instance. Cancellations must be received at least one (1) week prior to the date of your visit. Refunds will not be issued for any amount under $20, for cancellations made within one (1) week of the scheduled date, or for no-show groups. Your school (and/or Big Thought/ArtsPartners if using AP funding) will be invoiced for the total reservation cost if you fail to show for your field trip/program or cancel within one (1) week of the scheduled date. We will do our best to accommodate late arrivals, but we reserve the right to cancel or adjust programs as needed. The Dallas Zoo and Children's Aquarium at Fair Park reserves the right to change these policies without notice.
After School Policy: A teacher or responsible adult must be present throughout the entire program. After school programs can be held outdoors or indoors, but a temperature controlled heated/cooled facility must be readily accessible for outdoor programs.
