What to see
The Aquarium is organized into galleries, and each one is its own world. Ocean Voyager, Built by The Home Depot, is home to the whale sharks. SHARKS! Predators of the Deep is devoted to sharks. Cold Water Quest has the beluga whales, including two rescued belugas that came to Georgia Aquarium from Marineland Canada. Dolphin Coast and Truist Sea Lion Studios host live presentations. The Southern Company River Scout and Tropical Diver galleries cover fresh water and reefs, and Explorers Cove and Aquanaut Adventure are aimed at younger visitors.

Beyond general admission, the Aquarium offers Behind the Seas tours, overnight sleepovers, and paid animal encounters with belugas, dolphins, harbor seals, penguins, sea lions and sea otters. It also offers swims and dives with the gentle giants in Ocean Voyager. The seasonal lineup includes Glow Nights, Haunted Seas and holiday events.
