Behind the Seas Tours

ALERT: After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close Georgia Aquarium to public guests. We continue to closely monitor this ever-evolving situation around COVID-19 with the ongoing commitment to the health and wellbeing of our guests, staff, volunteers and animals.

Explore the Secret World Behind Georgia Aquarium

Our Behind the Seas Tours offer a backstage look at our most popular exhibits. You’ll come closer than ever before to our animal inhabitants with visits to the topside of our galleries, plus you’ll get to visit our Correll Center, commissary and Ocean Voyager filtration room, where we house the equipment that filters our 6.3 million gallon habitat.
