Dolphin Presentation

We absolutely encourage you to use your phone to show us your tickets.  There is no need to print the email or barcodes.  Our contactless turnstiles will allow you to scan the barcode right from your phone.

We ask that you have your phone ready with your email pulled up once you pass through security.  Please note that Sleepover Tickets are not viable for entry until 6:00pm, but allow for all day admission the morning after the sleepover.

Georgia Aquarium has several sanitization and cleanliness procedures, many of which have been enhanced given the awareness of COVID-19. Our Environmental Operations team continually cleans and disinfects frequently touched places like handles, elevators, faucets, counters, and more. We have placed additional hand sanitizer units in gallery entrances and exits and additional signage in our restrooms indicating proper handwashing techniques. For staff, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, and gloves are available for all employees and volunteers.

At this time, reserved seats are not available for the sea lion presentation.

It is recommended that guests plan ahead to enter the Dolphin Coast gallery about 15-30 minutes before presentation time, to allow time to enter the dolphin theater, find your seats and enjoy the educational dolphin presentation pre-show entertainment. If you miss your scheduled dolphin presentation, Georgia Aquarium cannot guarantee you a preferred seat in another dolphin presentation.

In the event that a dolphin presentation is cancelled, guests who purchased preferred seats will be issued a refund for the full cost of their preferred seating.

About 15-30 minutes before the scheduled dolphin presentation, you should make your way to the Dolphin Coast gallery entrance in the main Atrium, take the escalator upstairs and continue through the Dolphin Coast lobby until reaching the queue space for the dolphin theater. Follow signs for the separate line for preferred seating. No refunds will be issued unless the presentation is cancelled.
