Forget Sleeping Under the Stars…

And Sleep Under the Sea!

You’ll be counting fish instead of sheep when you spend an unforgettable night at Georgia Aquarium! Come sea our amazing aquatic animals with a night filled of excitement and exploration. All of our memorable sleepovers include admission to the Aquarium at 7:00pm the day of your sleepover, as well as the entire next day. Not to mention you will get access to all presentations, a bedtime snack, a complimentary breakfast, guided tours and activities as well as the best sleeping spot in front of one of our captivating gallery windows. Come dive into your sleeping bag for a slumber party to remember!

Minimum age requirement for sleepovers, unless otherwise specified (i.e. middle school, adult) is 7 years old. Any guests under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult of 21 years of age or older. Adult sleepovers have a minimum age of 21+.

Covid-19 Guidelines: In accordance with the recent executive order by the mayor of Atlanta, Georgia Aquarium is requiring our guests to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth during their visit. For overnights, guests are encouraged to bring their own cot or air mattress (battery operated is best, as there are limited outlets).  If you do not have one of these, a sanitized mat will be provided for you. If sleepovers do not reach a minimum of 20 guests, the program may be cancelled. If this happens, you will be notified two weeks prior to your event.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you have a Program Handbook for my Sleep Under the Sea, sleepover?

    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.

  • Do participants have to wear a mask?

    For the safety of our animals, guests and team members, all program participants must wear a facial covering over their mouth and nose at all times for the duration of the program. Additionally, all guests must consent to a contactless temperature check upon entry.

  • If I buy my tickets online, do I need to print them, or is showing the email on my phone is enough?

    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.

  • Do I need to reschedule my Animal Encounter if a friend or family member tests positive for Covid 19?

    If you have had known exposure to a person who has tested positive for Covid 19, we ask that you reschedule your Animal Encounter for at least two weeks in the future. Rescheduling for this reason will not incur any additional charges or fees.

    All participants will be asked to take a short survey prior to their encounter or program to determine if they have had contact with a person who has tested positive for Covid 19. If that is confirmed, participants will be rescheduled for at least two weeks in the future without any additional charges or fees.

  • 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.

  • What is Georgia Aquarium doing to help guests and staff stay healthy?

    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.
