Georgia Aquarium

Get up-close and personal with the residents of our world’s most impressive, awe-inspiring ecosystems.

- Feel like a SCUBA diver in an endless blue sea, mesmerized by thousands of fish swimming overhead as you walk through our 100-foot underwater viewing tunnel in Ocean Voyager. Home to over 100 different species including whale sharks, manta rays, and our resident 450 lb. green sea turtle, Ocean Voyager has 185 tons of acrylic windows for you to explore.
- Marvel at beautiful belugas and spot curious animals such as Australian weedy sea dragons, Japanese spider crabs, and our elusive giant Pacific octopus hiding among rocky ledges and kelp forests in Cold Water Quest.
- Experience the beauty and agility of bottlenose dolphins in an exhilarating performance that gives a powerful message about the importance of caring for and about aquatic creatures in our daily dolphin presentations.
- See California sea lions and their dedicated trainers in our Truist Sea Lion Studios' live presentation as they show how they build trust and positive reinforcement with these highly social pinnipeds. Learn more about the dangers sea lions face in the wild, including harrowing personal stories from our own rescued sea lions!
- Embark on an unforgettable eco-tour in our newest exhibit: Explorers Cove. This kids-centered interactive gallery transports you through three vibrant coastal biomes – the estuary, salt marsh, and coastal ocean. Guests can gently interact with cownose rays and sturgeon through our touch pools, learn more about the marsh ecosystem in our interactive water play areas, and even release their own artistic creation into a digital reef through our “paint-a-fish” virtual projection!
