WonderCon Educational Program

No. Only the primary chaperone must be employed or directly affiliated with the school/organization. The primary chaperone must be the point of contact. Any additional chaperones (e.g. parents) must be at least 21 years old.

Children ages 12 and under attend for free at WonderCon! They will receive a free child badge.

They will receive an adult badge at the adult price. Because they’re a student included in a group booking, they will not be perceived any differently than their junior-age classmates.

Payment is due by Monday, March 26, 2024. Acceptable forms of payment include check, debit card, and credit card. As part of the application process, the primary chaperone can choose between one of the two options available:

1. An invoice can be provided after all badges are registered
2. Payment can be submitted during the registration process (debit/credit card only)

For the primary chaperone, please head to Hall D and visit the Badge Solutions Desk to pick up your group’s badges. Please let our Badge Solutions staff know that you are with the Educational Group Program and provide them with a photo ID. Please note, groups will not be able to enter the Exhibit Hall before it opens.

Although WonderCon does not have designated picnic or eating areas for groups, they can still enjoy their lunch break in the convention center’s public courtyards, hallways, or the Plaza outside.

If any of your students forgot their food and need to grab something, there are food trucks lined up and down the Plaza which offer many fancy feasts, from frankfurters to falafels! There are also food options in the Exhibit Hall and lobbies of the convention center, but please note that some of these outlets are cashless.

Conventions are distinctive and bustling areas, displaying awesome and one-of-a-kind items that have been gathered, preserved, or are cherished by many. These items are frequently delicate or hold great significance and may take damage if not treated with respect or if visitors disregard the regulations outlined below.

• Masks or face coverings are not required but are always recommended while in any crowded space.
• Please do not touch anything without permission. This is especially important in the Exhibit Hall.
• Photography is allowed for personal, non-commercial use. No tripods or selfie sticks are allowed anywhere in the convention.
• There is zero tolerance for running on the exhibitor floor.
• Badges must be worn at all times in a fashion that can be easily seen and identified by security.
• We do not offer any backpack or item storage so make sure you and your students are only bringing what they are willing to carry all day long.
• If your students are interested in buying posters or pieces of art while at WonderCon, we recommend bringing a poster tube so that their items do not get bent or destroyed while on the exhibit floor or during travel.

Your responsibility as a chaperone is vital in ensuring the good behavior and safety of your students during the WonderCon event. It’s crucial to remind all chaperones to remain with their respective groups throughout the visit and ensure that the students adhere to the earlier mentioned guidelines.

Please be advised that WonderCon mandates adherence to a ratio of one chaperone per every 10 students. Consequently, for a group size of 1-10 students, a single chaperone is required; for 11-20 students, the appropriate allocation is two chaperones, and so forth.

WonderCon does not have bus parking available, and bus drivers should check with their company about parking options.

WonderCon maintains guidelines regarding any possible depictions of nudity or adult content. Exhibitors are required to conscientiously present such material in a manner that complies with Anaheim’s Community Guidelines.
