Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

  • Where Do Guests Sleep?

    As our guests, you will have the opportunity to sleep in front of one of our magnificent exhibits in galleries such as:

    ·  Ocean Voyager built by The Home Depot

    ·  Tropical Diver Gallery

    ·  Cold Water Quest Gallery

    ·  Southern Company River Scout

    ·  Dolphin Coast Viewing Window

  • Can I Request a Sleeping Area?

    We cannot guarantee sleeping locations. Assignments are made after all guests have checked in, and are based upon the group make-up, size and needs. Additionally, partial or entire galleries may be unavailable due to other activities and/or animal care taking place.

  • What Is the Minimum Age Allowed?

    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+.

  • When Is Payment Due?

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

  • How Soon Should We Reserve Spots?

    Sleepovers sell out fast! We encourage all guests to make reservations at least one month in advance.

  • What Meals Are Included?

    Please be advised that all Sleepovers WILL NOT include dinner but will include a bedtime snack and a breakfast option. Café Aquaria will be open until Monday-Thursday until 5 PM, and Friday-Sunday from 10-7 PM for guests wishing to purchase food before their sleepover. Large groups are encouraged to plan ahead and purchase café vouchers in advance for $13 each.
