Here’s a list of new policies:

  • All guests must consent to a contactless temperature scan prior to entering the building. Any person exhibiting a fever (temperature of 100.4° or higher) will not be permitted entry.
  • Georgia Aquarium strongly suggests that all guests who are able to wear a mask, do so. Masks will be available at our gate for those who might need one. All Georgia Aquarium team members are required to wear masks for the entirety of their shift.
  • All unique experiences are temporarily suspended.
  • All tickets are now a single price regardless of age or arrival time. (Children under 3 are still free.)
  • The Aquarium main entrance will be closed. You will be assigned a designated alternate entrance with your ticket purchase and Aquarium Ambassadors will be there to help you find your way.
  • Georgia Aquarium is limiting the number of guests allowed in the building at one time. This reduced capacity will allow guests to visit the Aquarium while staying an appropriate distance from other guests.
