Mystic Aquarium doesn’t have a teacher discount right now. The free educator admission it ran for one month in the fall is gone, and teachers pay regular admission like everyone else. You can still earn 1.5% cashback on tickets with a Fluz virtual card, and if you’re bringing a class, school groups get their own rates.
If you’re planning a day out for your own family, the cashback is the route that works for any teacher. If you’re planning a field trip, skip ahead to the group rates, because that’s where the real savings are.
How To Get The Mystic Aquarium Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher code or school ID check to go through. To get the cashback on your tickets:
- Create a Fluz account and verify your identity. Fluz also asks you to link a bank account to fund your purchases.
- Create a Fluz virtual card, a digital card with its own number, expiration date and CVV.
- Buy your Mystic Aquarium tickets and pay with that card. Fluz lists 1.5% cashback at Mystic Aquarium.
The card works anywhere Mastercard or Visa is accepted, so it covers online ticket checkout. Check the cashback rate on Fluz before you pay, since offers can change.
Bringing A Class Or A Group
Mystic Aquarium sets school and youth group admission at $16 per student under 18 in the lower season and $20 in the higher season. Pre-K through grade 12 groups get one free adult chaperone for every 5 students, so the adults who come along with your class don’t pay. You need at least 10 paying guests, and you have to reserve at least two weeks ahead and pay at least one week ahead, all in one payment.
The aquarium takes school groups from schools, homeschools and other youth organizations. If your group has 10 or more paying guests but isn’t a school, such as a club or a big family day, ordinary group tickets are 10% off. The discount comes off automatically once 10 paid tickets are in your cart, and parking is free.
Why The Teacher Offer Isn’t Here
The old free educator admission page no longer loads, and it isn’t on the aquarium’s current list of discounts. If you saw a free teacher day mentioned somewhere, it was that promotion, and you can’t book it now. The aquarium’s discounts page is the first place a new teacher offer would show up.
For other places where teachers get in free or pay less, see our entertainment discounts for teachers.
Q&A
Does Mystic Aquarium give teachers free admission?
No. The free educator admission isn’t offered anymore, so teachers pay regular admission unless they’re visiting with a school group.
Do chaperones get in free?
Yes, on a school group visit. Groups in Pre-K through grade 12 get one free adult chaperone per 5 students.
How many people do I need for a group rate?
At least 10 paying guests, for both the school and youth group rate and the 10% group discount.
How far ahead do I have to book a school group?
Reserve at least two weeks ahead and pay at least one week ahead, in one payment.
Can I use Fluz for aquarium tickets?
Fluz lists 1.5% cashback at Mystic Aquarium when you pay with a Fluz virtual card. It’s open to anyone with a Fluz account, not just teachers.
