Georgia Aquarium Field Trips

Bring Your Class to the Aquarium

Georgia Aquarium’s Education General Admission gives classes the opportunity to explore on their own our many diverse habitats and species. In this self-guided experience, all tickets include Aquarium admission, all available presentations and all available animal galleries. Presentations are subject to availability and are on a first come, first served basis. Presentation times are subject to change without notice.

Please note: Grants are available! Georgia Aquarium offers a Sponsored Education Admissions (SEA) Grant to Title I schools and select non-profit organizations operating in the State of Georgia. This grant provides free admission when visiting with a field trip, ensuring that diverse audiences, regardless of economic status, have an opportunity to experience the wonders of the Aquarium. Please note, if you submit a reservation form for a paid field trip to Georgia Aquarium, you will be disqualified from receiving the SEA Grant. ​Click here to learn more and to apply.
