Requirements and additional information:

· Each child must have one parent attend (BSA rules for Cub Scout overnight excursions).

· Do not come to the park hungry! Please have at least a light dinner before arriving at the park. This activity is a guided tour and there is no time allotted for stopping at food stands to eat. A pizza snack will be provided at about 8:00 PM Saturday night. A continental breakfast (juice and rolls) will be provided Sunday morning. If dietary needs require other foods or more food for dinner or breakfast, you should plan on eating before arriving and/or after leaving the park. Please keep in mind that SeaWorld San Antonio does not allow food to be brought into the park. There is also no time allotted for visits to the gift shops, restaurants, concessions, rides, shows or other habitats not included in the program.

· Dress appropriately for the outdoors, the forecasted weather, and walking. All SeaWorld programs spend time outdoors and involve a considerable amount of walking. SeaWorld does not provide shuttles for their programs. All participants must walk unless their health requires assistance. If anyone in our group requires assistance please let Steve Jellison know immediately.

· Restroom facilities are available for changing clothes, brushing teeth, etc. Please keep in mind that these facilities are not inside the exhibit. There are no shower facilities available.

· SeaWorld San Antonio Education Programs are separate and supplemental to the park itself. Therefore, Season Passports, discount coupons, and other offers cannot be applied towards the education program fees.

· All programs will begin on time. Late arrivals will not be able to join the group. Please keep in mind that all participants must enter and exit with the group. No exceptions will be made.
