All field trips require a $300 non-refundable deposit to confirm your reservation. All payments must be collected before you arrive. We do not accept personal checks. Parents CANNOT pay at the gate the morning of the field trip. Sharkarosa is not open to the public during field trips therefore the ticket window is not open and there is no employee scheduled to take individual ticket sales.

Crystal Riddle2024-04-16Went on a field trip with my kids. Very educational up close with the animals had a playground a snack area and souvenir shop.
John Wardlaw2024-04-15Always sad to see wild animals behind bars but after they tell the stories behind what they do at Sharkarosa, very impressive and great for the animals that most likely would have been abused or died years ago. Hyena was my favorite, I never knew how BIG they are as she was a special case and a beauty. Very impressive hearing her crunch through rib bones like potato chips! WOW 😳
