The Sea Lion Presentation is Back!

Presented by:
Our beloved California sea lions have returned! Truist Pier 225’s live presentation, Under the Boardwalk, features Georgia Aquarium’s incredible California sea lions. These highly social pinnipeds and their dedicated trainers will show you how they work together — and why this is such an important part of animal care at Georgia Aquarium — in a live training session.

To allow for proper social distancing in the Truist Pier 225 Theater, seating is very limited and is first come, first served. You will be able to reserve your seat for the Sea Lion presentation at no cost when you are on site or by using our seat reservation system by clicking the link on the right on the day of your visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Photosensitivity Warning

    Please be advised that the use of visual stimuli, including flashing lights or patterns, theatrical fog, and lighting effects along with loud music are in use on this property. If you have health problems that could be affected by these types of conditions, please take that into consideration before participating.
