NOTE: New Teacher Guides and Student Guides are being updated. Refer back to this page at a later date.
Prior to your visit to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, we recommend that you download, print, and use the Teacher Guide, as well as the Student Research Guide. Both resources were developed specifically to enhance and maximize learning experiences at the aquarium.
EcoVenture classes are interactive and align with Next Generation Science Standards and Utah State Core Curriculum guidelines by grade level and/or subject (as with high school.) All classes may or may not include a live animal encounter specifically tailored to the class theme.
EcoVenture classes are 30 minutes in length and begin every 45 minutes.
A link to request an EcoVenture class can be found in the confirmation email you receive after booking your visit.
Last day for EcoVenture classes will be May 26th, 2024. We will resume EcoVenture classes again on August 28th.
