Field Trips at the Sea Center

The Sea Center offers self-guided school visits for the 2025-26 school year.

If you are interested, please check this page starting September 15 for booking options.

Self-guided School Visits

Self-guided school visits take place on Tuesday–Friday, 10:00 AM to noon. The Sea Center’s group capacity is 30 students, so if you have more than 30 students, please note that you will need to split your group and that only 30 students will be able to be accommodated per hour.

For example, if you have a group of 60 students,

  • One half of the group will attend from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM. 
  • The other half of the group will attend from 11:00 AM to noon.  

The half that is not visiting the Sea Center will wait outside in the care of your school staff or parent chaperones while the other half is inside. Some activities that previous groups have enjoyed have been playing at the beach, touring the wharf, or having snack/lunch nearby. Just make sure to be back for your visit at 11:00 AM!

Your group will be greeted by our Sea Center school programs staff, and we will assist with the logistics of your group’s movement through our facility and, when necessary, the splitting of larger groups for staggered entry.
