Fodor's Expert Review UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium
Moon River District
Family
On the grounds of the former Modena Plantation, the University of Georgia runs this aquarium with revolving exhibits about the state's coastal wildlife and ecosystems. Kids love the touch tanks featuring creatures from tidal creeks, the ocean beaches, and the open waters of the continental shelf up-close. The sea turtles are especially popular. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air after visiting the aquariuam, and don't miss the nearby nature trails and ADA-approved salt marsh boardwalk.
