School Programming
Dear Teachers,
The following programs are being offered at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island for 2008-2009. If you are interested in scheduling a program during your visit, please contact our registrar at 252-473-3494 ext. 232. All programs need to be scheduled in advance of your visit and we do encourage early or on time arrival in order to make sure your visit is as pleasant and organized as possible.
Our programs will be offered at 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. All programs are approximately 20 minutes long and will occur in Neptune’s Theater. We have a variety of program offerings including live animal presentations (offered on certain days due to their feeding schedule), videos, and lectures. We try to make all of our programs interactive and fun for the students. We do not offer programs on Monday and Friday.
Thank you for your efforts in planning your upcoming visit and we look forward to having you and your students.
