The Georgia Aquarium is now giving families and organized youth groups the opportunity to see what goes on when the lights go out at the world’s largest aquarium with new overnight programs.

The Aquarium is offering two programs, “Great Aquarium Adventure” for family groups and “Ocean Odyssey on the SS Star” for youth groups. Aquarium Adventure takes families on a scavenger hunt through the Aquarium as they learn about the different habitats and animals. Ocean Odyssey takes youth groups on a cruise on the “SS Star” to the deep waters of the Atlanta Ocean and its coral reefs. Scout troops can even work toward earning badges during the night of aquatic exploration.

“Sleepovers will give families and youth groups an exciting and rare look at the Aquarium they haven’t seen before,” said Jeff Swanagan, president and executive director, Georgia Aquarium. “They will view different behaviors gain valuable knowledge from their guides that will make them see these amazing animals from a whole new perspective.”

Each program includes admission to the Aquarium, Deepo’s Undersea 3D Wondershow, behind the scenes tour, guided adventure through the galleries, a mattress to sleep on, fun activities, dinner, evening snack and breakfast.
