Aqua Pass

With Georgia Aquarium’s Aqua Pass, guests can return for all of 2026 for the price of an Anytime Ticket.

Georgia Aquarium offers many unique opportunities throughout the year to dive deeper into our aquatic world. From marveling at the variety of aquatic life, cheering in one of our sea lion and dolphin shows, walking through the 100-foot-long underwater tunnel in our Ocean Voyager gallery, to coming face to fin with some of the ocean’s apex predators, there are so many ways to experience Georgia Aquarium. With our 2026 Aqua Pass, never miss out on new animals, presentations, exhibits, and special events like Haunted Seas and Holidays at Georgia Aquarium, all for the price of a single-day ticket.

The Aqua Pass replaces the Resident Pass and is available to anyone, not just residents of Georgia. The Aqua Pass has all the same benefits, allowing passholders to visit Georgia Aquarium as often as they like* for all of 2026, all for the price of a single-day ticket.

The Aqua Pass may be used only by the named passholder. For example, in a family of four, each family member would need a named Aqua Pass.
