Georgia Aquarium's two-hour instructor-led programs allow for focused learning opportunities where students can expand their understanding of aquatic ecosystems. Programs take place Monday-Friday and are scheduled at 9:45 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 1:45 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. We encourage college groups, if time allows, to first tour the Aquarium and then participate in the instructor-led program. This will allow us to build on the student's prior knowledge and incorporate concepts from your syllabus into the experience.
College group programs include admission to the Aquarium. To book a college field trip or get more information, please call 404.581.4193.
