    Showers are not available during our overnight events.

  • Does Georgia Aquarium provide meals for Sleepover guests?

    Please be sure to have dinner prior to your arrival at Georgia Aquarium.

    Yes! You can view or download a copy of the handbook here. The link to this handbook is included in your confirmation email after you’ve purchased your sleepover.

  • Can I buy shirts that look like the ones staff wears?

    Georgia Aquarium is glad to offer a variety of branded apparel in our gift shops, however we do not sell Aquarium team member uniforms. For the safety of our guests, team and animals, it is important that we are always able to discern between members of the public and Georgia Aquarium staff and volunteers.

    All sleepovers must be reserved and paid in full at least 30 days before the desired sleepover date.
