Tuesdays in the Field Home School Programming

Tuesdays in the Field is a specialized program created for K-12 home school students. The Education team is excited to offer an experience that allows students the opportunity to engage in standard based instruction at their own pace. Our Tuesdays in the Field homeschool experience is offered the second Tuesday of the month, from September through February, between the hours of 9:00am-1:00pm. Registration for the Tuesdays in the Field program includes Georgia Aquarium admission. At the end of the program, feel free to enjoy the Aquarium’s galleries and presentations.

We are excited to inform you that Georgia Aquarium is currently under construction for Expansion 2020! Due to construction, we have a new location for the Education Entrance. Once you have parked in the Georgia Aquarium parking deck, please utilize the blue elevator (also labeled Ballroom Elevator) to reach the sidewalk on Luckie Street. Turn left and continue down Luckie Street on the sidewalk. Look for the blue Education Bus Drop Off flags. A member of the Education team will be available to assist you with entry.
