Just in Time for Summer, Resident Pass is Back

With our Resident Pass, guests are able to enjoy unlimited visits to Georgia Aquarium (minus blackout dates). Plus, never miss out on our seasonal activities like the Sound Waves Concert Series, Haunted Seas, and Holidays at Georgia Aquarium, all for the price of $64.99!

With Georgia Aquarium’s Resident Pass, residents from Georgia and neighboring states can return for all of 2024 for only $64.99.

The Resident Pass is now available to guests that reside outside of the state of Georgia, and is perfect for residents of neighboring states like Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina!

The Resident Pass may be used only by the named pass holder.

A General Admission ticket entitles the holder to one visit to Georgia Aquarium, including all major galleries and presentations. For $64.99, the Resident Pass allows pass holders to return as often as they wish* for the rest of the year for no extra cost.

A Membership, along with unlimited visits to the Aquarium, includes discounts for Coastline Café and the Treasures of the Sea gift shop, as well as parking, programs, and animal encounters. Members are not limited by blackout dates and are able to purchase guest admission tickets at a 10% discount.

The Resident Pass, for $64.99, allows pass holders to return as often as they wish* for the rest of the year for no extra cost but does not include any further discounts. Resident Pass holders must make a reservation prior to their visit and should still enter the Aquarium through the general admission entrance, not the member entrance.

You may purchase up to six Resident Passes for family and friends. Note: Passes purchased together will be tied to the same Georgia Aquarium account.

The Resident Pass is available for purchase only until May 28th. Pass holders may visit throughout 2024.

Blackout dates are May 25-26 (Memorial Day), July 4-7, 13, 20, 27, August 31-September 1 (Labor Day Weekend), November 29-30, and December 26-30.

The Resident Pass may be purchased at any time while supplies last. Do keep in mind that reservations are required before using the Resident Pass to visit the Aquarium.   

Pass holders must make a reservation for each pass holder for each visit by logging into their account at www.georgiaaquarium.org.  Pass holders cannot visit unless they use their account to reserve an entry pass (barcode) for a specific day and time that will be scanned at the entrance. Pass holders may visit as often as they wish* but must follow this process each time.

Yes, reservations may be made for the same day the Resident Pass is purchased.

In that case, please select a different time. Times early and late in the day will typically have the most availability.
