Discover what happens at night at the world’s largest aquarium!  Explore the Georgia Aquarium after hours and sleep beside our world-class exhibits. The Aquarium offers family sleepovers and adult sleepovers.

Group and Family Sleepovers
After everyone has gone home, and the Aquarium has closed its doors for the night, we invite you to join us for an exciting night of exploration! Price includes admission into the Aquarium, Deepo's Undersea 3D Wondershow, Behind the Scenes Tours, guided adventure through the galleries, a sleeping mat, fun activities, light supper and breakfast.

"Ocean Odyssey"
This program is designed for grades 2-5. Let the Georgia Aquarium staff take your group on a cruise aboard the “SS Star” through the deep waters of the ocean and its coral reefs. The program focuses on the aquatic animals and habitats including sharks and whales and what you can do to help preserve these wonderful resources. Get ready to explore the Aquarium through a variety of special activities, tours, animal encounters and more!

Special programs for Brownies, Junior Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts are also available.

"Ocean Lights"
This interactive program designed for middle school students, grades 6-8, takes your students on a scientific journey exploring geological oceanography, which focuses on the topographic features and physical makeup of the ocean floor; meteorological oceanography, which pertains to the study of the ocean’s interaction with the atmosphere and the effect on weather and climate; and biological oceanography, which concentrates on deep ocean animal life. This program is also perfect for Boy Scouts earning their Oceanography badge.

All programs listed above meet Georgia Performance Standards (GPS).
