Thanks for your interest in the Seattle Aquarium’s educational programming. Planning for the 2024–25 school year’s Homeschool Days is underway, with our first event tentatively scheduled for late November and two more coming in 2025. More details to be announced soon!
Homeschool Days
Bring your homeschool group to meet the animals and learn about Puget Sound!
Homeschool families are invited to visit the Seattle Aquarium on Homeschool Days for exclusive programming reserved for your group. During this event, learning stations will teach your students about plankton, marine mammals and careers in marine science. The activities are perfect for families with multi-aged children.
We want to hear from you!
Since 2022, our School and Public Programs team has tried different approaches to Homeschool Days events. As we move forward, we want to hear from our most important program partners—the homeschool students and caregivers themselves! In the next few weeks (the second half of September), we are preparing a survey to find out what homeschool families want to see from our programming to help guide the direction of future events.
Please use the form below to submit your name and an email address where we can send this survey once it’s ready.
Please check back soon for more details about the 2024–25 Homeschool Days events, including how to register. We appreciate everyone’s patience during this historic year for the Seattle Aquarium with the opening of our Ocean Pavilion expansion.
About Homeschool Days
Homeschool Days are open to students in kindergarten through high school and are designed to be family learning days. On the day of the event, the learning stations are open from 10am to noon. Capacity is limited and advance reservations are required. Ticket sales for Homeschool Days will close at noon the day before the event. Reservations are processed based on availability. All reservations must be prepaid.
Parents are expected to participate in the learning stations with their children. This is not a drop-off program. All students must be accompanied by a chaperone. Chaperones must be 18 years or older and are encouraged to participate in activities and monitor student behavior.
All payments are nonrefundable. Refunds will not be given for any unused portion of your order, such as no-shows or cancellations.
