University of Georgia's Marine Education Center and Aquarium

The University of Georgia is one of the oldest colleges in the United States. The University proper was started in 1785 by a charter for a state supported university. 40,000 acres was set aside for the University in Savannah, Georgia. It now offers the University of Georgia's Marine Education Center and Aquarium too.

It is a public aquarium with weekday hours of 9am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Admission is $6 per person for anyone between 13 and 54. Children 3 to 12 are $3 and seniors are also $3. The aquarium offers a military discount of $3 too. Children 3 and under are free.

The aquarium is located off of I16 taking the Lynes Parkway East exit (516). It becomes DeRenne Avenue which is used until one can turn right on Truman Parkway. Eventually the route leads to McWhorter Drive and the Skidaway Marine Science Center. The UGA Aquarium is on the left.

The aquarium offers a number of wonderful explorations such as teacher workshops, summer camps, intern programs, community programs, and volunteer programs. Visitors get to learn about biology at this aquarium as well as see creatures of the ocean and other water ways.
