Join us at the Aquarium on March 21st to experience a mobile exhibit to learn about the Rio Grande River. The animals and plants that live along the river.  There will be hands on games and an on stage performance artist. This is a free event, yet we MUST HAVE 100 STUDENTS to be able to do this, therefore we will be combining with other groups to meet the minimum requirement. This is open to non-members who are homeschoolers.

You will first go into the Education Bldg to start the class and then proceed to the back parking lot to the BioVan.

We are limited to 40 students for each of the following time frames, to get the time frame you want, sign up asap.

Hi Lisa!
Is it OK if I pass this along to our Santa Fe Homeschool Association group?  It sounds like a great field trip opportunity.  Thanks!

Lisa,
I forgot to ask, does this event include admission to the Aquarium, also?  Or would anyone wishing to go into the aquarium have to pay admission to get in?  Thanks so much!
