Does your family enjoy learning about animals? Come join us for a morning at the Charles Paddock Zoo!

Your student will be able to attend a 1-hour educational program and additionally have time to explore the zoo, observing all types of animals!

Ticket cost:

• Students under age 13 $9.75
• Students ages 13+ $14.75
• Chaperones $14.75

*The price for tickets paid with a credit card will be slightly higher due to the Ticketbud processing fee.

Heartland events are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family, please let the field trip host know. Chaperones must be the legal parent or 25 years and older. All chaperones must be healthy, ethical people with the skills to be responsible adult chaperones.

**To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, please do not attend a field trip or event if you, your student(s), or anyone in your household is ill or showing possible signs of illness.**

Please read our refund policy!

Refunds will not be given for any reason. As a courtesy, if you are sick or unable to attend a field trip, please contact the teacher who planned the event and let them know so they do not have to wait at the venue for you.* Families who are no-shows may lose access to future field trips.*

May I pay using my student's planning amount? Yes! You can pay for your student's ticket and one chaperone ticket with your student's planning amount. Reminder, only one chaperone ticket per family may be purchased using planning amounts. There are two steps to purchase tickets for field trips with your student's planning amount.

Step 1. Reserve your ticket on Ticketbud. Please select the "Student ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" and or "Chaperone ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" ticket options on Ticketbud. Complete the checkout process on Ticketbud. You will receive an email confirmation from Ticketbud once your order is complete. (If you do not receive an email please check your Spam folder.) This is the first step in reserving your tickets. Immediately after you receive confirmation from Ticketbud, you will move to step 2.

Step 2. Place an order for your tickets in Procurify. Search the name of this field trip in the Procurify catalog and complete your order just like you would for any other order. Your spot on this field trip will not be confirmed until you have placed your order in Procurify. Failure to place an order in Procurify within three days will result in being removed from the attendee list and having your funds manually deducted.

What are the check-in procedures? Families will check-in with the HST at the zoo’s front gate around 9:45 AM; Families will be assigned Session 1 or Session 2 for meet-n-greet upon check-in; HST will be wearing Heartland attire.

Does this trip have any grade or age restrictions? Students must be enrolled in Heartland to attend. Younger siblings are not allowed to attend. Only one chaperone per family is allowed due to limited space.  If you purchase a ticket for a child who is not old enough to attend or a second chaperone ticket you will not be given a refund. 

Each person who attends a field trip or event must be registered through Ticketbud.

Is there on-site parking available? Parking is free, and lots of parking space is available.

Can we pack snacks or lunch for this event or field trip? No food / drink allowed, but the Atascadero Lake Park is located right next door - bring a picnic for afterwards!
