Please remember --
YOU MUST BE A PAID UP MEMBER FOR THIS SPECIAL PRICE!
According to my records 17 members do not.
Check the upper right hand corner of your card.

Is it $10 per member or $10 for member and each family member (me+daughter = ?$)?

It's $10 per person, so $20 you and your daughter and includes lunch.

I can't get on the LIRA forums for some reason. I would like to get a few of these tickets but it's giving me problems. I see I can buy them there at the event, but do those also include lunch?

Vinny Kreyling · 07/25/2013, 08:46 AM

The wife & I plus 8

MHG · 07/30/2013, 03:36 AM

Just a question.... Is there anything special to do when you show up? A person behind the counter to look for to gain access? Once there is there any sort of times for any family fun day activities or are we just kind of milling around until we meat for lunch?

TheSherm · 07/30/2013, 06:55 AM

Me, wife and two babies

Vinny Kreyling · 07/30/2013, 07:27 AM

Joe Lanzon & I usually have a table near the bridge into the exhibits.
See us there please.
Sea lion show & boat rides are time specific.

Nope, 3 and under are free.

thavngr98 · 07/30/2013, 09:22 AM

Just paid for myself and family. We had a great time last year!

MHG · 07/30/2013, 05:32 PM

I was just curious if we had any set agenda like any yours or special stuff for the group that I would miss if I arrive late? otherwise what time are you all showing up?

Vinny Kreyling · 07/30/2013, 08:05 PM

Nothing special except extra activities @ extra times & cost.
Behind the scenes tours usually run for a while.
The doors open @ 10.

thavngr98 · 07/30/2013, 08:50 PM

My son is hoping the penguin makes an appearance again!

Ken_S_NY · 07/31/2013, 05:25 AM

Anyone want to meet up for an informal photography lesson\discussion. I got a DSLR last December and spent the last six months taking over 10K photos.

I hope to get to the aquarium around 10:30, its easier to photograph the tanks before it gets crowded.

I would love a photo lesson, if possible!

Monkeyfish · 07/31/2013, 09:23 AM

I'd love to, but I don't think my 8 year-old would

Ken_S_NY · 07/31/2013, 03:40 PM

You might be surprised. My 9 year old took this picture after I setup the camera for her.

Not sure I'd trust my girl with my camera... she does enjoy taking pictures with my I-pod though.

Long Island Andy · 08/02/2013, 09:44 AM
