Your LearningPartners voucher is NOT a reservation. To schedule a field trip or program, you must register at www.dallaszoo.com, at least 2 weeks in advance of the requested date AND include your LearningPartners voucher number, approval code, and amount approved when you submit your request form. LearningPartners funding will not be applied retroactively to your reservations. 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 LearningPartners. Visit website for complete scheduling details.
Deadline:
Programs must be booked 2 weeks in advance of program date.
Cancellation Policy:
Your reservation may be rescheduled once without penalty. Additional reschedules will be charged $25 per instance. Reschedule dates must be at least two (2) weeks in advance. Cancellations must be received in writing 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/LearningPartners if using LP 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.
