Welcome, explorers! Prepare to embark on an unforgettable eco-tour in Georgia Aquarium’s newest exhibit: Explorers Cove. Opening this summer, Explorers Cove will transport you through three vibrant coastal biomes – the estuary, salt marsh, and coastal ocean – all connected by an artisanal floor pattern and an immersive interpretive storyline. Each biome has its own unique color scheme and educational content, creating a journey that’s as visually stunning as it is informative.
Explore the Estuary
Estuaries are where rivers meet the sea, creating a unique environment brimming with life. Here, you’ll find a fascinating sturgeon fish touch pool, where you can gently interact with these ancient creatures.

Escape to the Saltmarsh
This saltmarsh biome features an exciting water play area perfect for kids (and kids at heart!). Watch as motion-responsive projection animals come to life and react to your movements, making every step an interactive adventure. The space is a haven for fun and discovery, inviting you to engage with nature.
Dive into the Coastal Ocean
Here, you’ll find a touch pool teeming with graceful cownose rays. Offering a hands-on experience that brings you face-to-fin with these captivating creatures. And don’t miss the innovative ‘paint-a-fish’ virtual reef projection, where your artistic creations come to life on a digital reef. Showcasing the beauty and diversity of ocean life in a truly unique way.
The journey through Explorers Cove is more than just a series of exhibits; it’s an adventure – telling the story of these interconnected coastal environments. Engaging and hands-on experiences ensure visitors of all ages will leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation of our planet’s aquatic ecosystems.
