Discover Our Coast

The Georgia Explorer gallery is a highly interactive gallery with touch pools full of horseshoe crabs, sea stars, stingrays and shrimp.

Several large habitats feature a loggerhead sea turtle and the fish of Gray’s Reef – an underwater area off the Georgia coast designated a National Marine Sanctuary.

Whales live right off the Georgia coast! This gallery will connect you with right whales, which are one of the most endangered mammals on the planet. They spend the winter and give birth to their calves in Georgia waters. Right whales are featured in a video presentation, and a large-scale model allows guests to get up close to a "whale" in the gallery.
