Reviews of UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium
"Was alot of fun small aquarium. If you take more than a minute to look in each tank you will see things that aren't on the informational cards like flounders, different crabs I'm not positive what they were but in the last couple of tanks there were multiple sea creatures that looked like Krill"
"This is a fantastic aquarium and nature walk. We enjoy walking the trail, going out on the dock, and sitting by the water. We most recently went for their Marine Science Day and had a blast! It was completely free (minus food, if you wanted to buy it). They had so many great organizations taking part and we learned about programs we didn't even know were here! They also had the research labs open. It was interesting to view different marine life under microscopes, learn about the ocean water, and of course the marine animals. You definitely don't have to have young children to go here for a visit. My husband and I have gone alone, and when our daughter was younger, and this most recent time, she was almost 12. Check it out!"
"Such a cute and well kept little aquarium. Small but very surprised at the different types of fish. Highly recommend for those around the area. Next time I'll definitely have to do a picnic. They have a low key picnic area right beside the Wilmington River! Beautiful view of the river and a peaceful ambiance."
"This was an amazing place to visit with a young family. The crab touch tank was a huge hit with our kids. The aquarium was very educational, clean and very interactive. They do accept credit card but it is advised to bring cash. The nature trail was phenomenal. The scenery and the historical buildings were a great bonus. It is also very wheelchair accessible, which is very much appreciated."
"We did the Behind the Scenes tour. Hour long. In the aquarium before it opened. Employees taught about the different fish and reptiles. Got to touch a king snake. Visited with a box turtle. Watched the octopus and areas horses being fed. Held conchs and seahorses. Nice to see behind the scenes but also to be able to wander around without crowds. Nice tour. About the right length for little ones. Hands- on opportunities."
