Georgia Aquarium is Open to the Public

FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR GUESTS, TEAM MEMBERS AND OUR ANIMALS, WE'VE IMPLEMENTED SOME CHANGES:

  • Georgia Aquarium is requiring that all guests age 3 and up wear a mask covering their mouth and nose at all times.  Masks will be available at our gate for those who might need one. All Georgia Aquarium team members are required to wear masks for the entirety of their shift.
  • Help us, help you.  We have placed social distancing reminders and plexiglass barriers throughout the building, but we need you to be mindful of the spaces to help keep everyone safe.
  • All guests must consent to a contactless temperature scan prior to entering the building. Any person exhibiting a fever (temperature of 100.4° or higher) will not be permitted entry.
  • Tickets are only available online and need to be purchased in advance of your visit.  Entry to Georgia Aquarium will be scheduled in 30-minute timeslots.  Your admission is only valid during the timeslot you select. Please arrive on time, this will allow us to ensure proper social distancing is maintained.
  • All tickets are now a single price regardless of age or arrival time.  Children age 2 and under are still free and do not require admission tickets.
