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.
How Does It Work?
This new, innovative experience uses high-tech head mounted displays to connect users directly with content inside a three-dimensional space. Rather than simply watching a movie, users can change their perspective, explore and have their own unique experience tailored to their head movement. It is as though they are right inside the diver’s mask! While the VR displays mimic the immersive visuals of the real world, the VR Transporter’s motion platform and effects technology reconfirm what the users are seeing by providing inputs to their other senses. It takes virtual reality to a whole new level!
