DESCRIPTION:\nSpend the day exploring Long Island Aquarium with fellow NYF
 urs members! Come enjoy the exhibits\, watch the animals\, and hang out wi
 th friends. \n\nThe location of the Long Island Aquarium is 431 East Main
  Street\, Riverhead NY 1190. For parking information\, please visit: https
 ://www.longislandaquarium.com/plan-your-visit/directions-parking/\nDate & 
 Time: Saturday\, September 5th\, 9:30 AM\nFursuiting is allowed and encour
 aged! But please keep in mind that weapons or simulated weapons\, includin
 g swords\, bows\, arrows\, guns\, or similar props\, are not allowed on or
  around the aquarium's premises. If your fursuit includes any prop weapons
 \, please leave them at home for this event.\nInvite Required: Yes. To att
 end this event and qualify for group-rate tickets\, you must register on t
 he event site using a valid email address.Registration will remain open af
 ter August 22nd\, but group tickets will have already been purchased by th
 en. If you sign up after that date\, you're still more than welcome to joi
 n us! The only difference is that you'll need to purchase your own admissi
 on at the regular ticket price\, as the group-rate discount requires every
 one to enter the aquarium together.\nMinors are welcome\; however\, anyone
  under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\nCost: The to
 tal cost for the day\, including aquarium admission\, food\, and any shows
  you wish to attend\, is expected to be around $70–80 per person.\n\n
 🚨 Please DO NOT purchase your tickets yet! 🚨\n\nGeneral admission is
  $57.09 after tax if purchased online\, or $55.16 after tax if purchased a
 t the aquarium with cash. However\, if we secure the group rate\, tickets 
 will only be $19.66 + tax per person. That’s a huge difference!\nIf you'
 re planning to bring a +1\, +2\, +3\, or however many guests\, please let 
 me know as soon as possible so I can include them in our final headcount.\
 nI'll begin collecting payment two weeks before the event. Payment instruc
 tions will be emailed to the address you used to register for this event.\
 n\n\nThe absolute payment deadline is August 22nd\, as that's the day I'll
  be purchasing our group tickets. If you decide to attend after that date\
 , you're still more than welcome to join us\, but you'll need to purchase 
 your own admission at the regular ticket price.\nPLEASE NOTE: If you are r
 eceiving a group-rate ticket\, you must arrive no later than 10:00 AM.The 
 Long Island Aquarium requires that the entire group be present before chec
 k-in\, so we will be entering together. Unfortunately\, if you arrive afte
 r the group has entered\, you will not be able to use your group-rate tick
 et.\n\nRiverhead Aquarium Meetup Rules\n\nFirst and foremost\, please fami
 liarize yourself with the aquarium’s Policies and Visitor FAQs before at
 tending:\n\nPolicies: https://www.longislandaquarium.com/plan-your-visit/p
 olicies/\nVisitor FAQs: https://www.longislandaquarium.com/plan-your-visit
 /visitor-faqs/\n\n\nNaturally\, all NYFurs rules also apply to this event
 .\nThe plan is to arrive at 9:30 AM on August 15th\, about half an hour b
 efore the aquarium opens. This gives us time to account for anyone running
  late\, gather everyone together\, and snap a quick group photo before hea
 ding inside.Although I'm organizing the meetup\, I won't be acting as a to
 ur guide. You're welcome to attend whichever exhibits and shows interest y
 ou. Think of this like a school field trip: once everyone has arrived\, w
 e'll go over a few announcements and rules\, enter the aquarium together\,
  and then you're free to explore however you'd like.\nI will provide my ph
 one number to all attendees. However\, if you have an immediate issue—l
 ike a medical emergency or a lost item—please contact the aquarium staff
  first as they are best equipped to help. The aquarium also has an on-site
  lost and found.\nLast\, and most importantly\, have fun! There’s so mu
 ch to see and do at the Long Island Aquarium. Make the most of your visit\
 , and I hope to see you there!\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns\, 
 please feel free to contact me on Discord at Applecide\, or on Telegram at
  Cidetastic. You can also reach me via email at artisticidecreations@gmail
