Glow Nights is Georgia Aquarium’s all-new summer experience. A captivating evening event running daily from May 30 through August 17, 2025. 

This summer, Georgia Aquarium lights up the night like never before with Glow Nights. This all-new evening experience is inspired by the natural wonder of bioluminescence found deep within our oceans. Starting May 30, as the sun sets, the Aquarium transforms into a glowing celebration of color and light. 

Step into a vibrant underwater world as the Aquarium is taken over by a dazzling UV light scene.

Guests will encounter glowing corals, radiant jellyfish, and other luminous sea creatures, brought to life through blacklight theatrics and glowing decor. Throughout the evening, mesmerizing live performances will take place throughout the atrium. Don’t miss the glowing juggler and hooper, sway pole artists, four unique aerialists, a rola bola and unicyclists, even a larger-than-life whale shark that glides gracefully above guests, and so much more! 

Interactive activities such as glow-in-the-dark tattoos, audience participation, and live performances ensure visitors of all ages are engaged. Guests can also expect to savor specialty glow-themed cocktails and dining options, snap the perfect memory at vibrant photo ops, and explore pop-up moments with themed characters. Add a bit of flair at the glow-in-the-dark tattoo station! Or shop exclusive Glow Nights retail to take a piece of the magic home.

Glow Nights coincides with the launch of our brand-new bioluminescent exhibit, where you’ll encounter real-life glowing wonders of the ocean—bioluminescent species whose natural luminescence inspires this one-of-a-kind event.

This is an evening-only experience, from 5 PM until close. Perfect for making summer memories that shine long after the lights go out.

Admission to Glow Nights is included in your General Admissions ticket or Aqua Pass, offering unlimited access to this and other seasonal events throughout 2025. Don’t miss the chance to witness the ocean’s glow in a new light. Plan your visit today!​ For more details and to purchase tickets, visit the official Glow Nights page.
