Located on Ocean Science Circle, The University of Georgia Aquarium is a kid-friendly and educational tourist attraction on Skidaway Island just southeast of downtown Savannah. The exhibits feature the marine animals that live along the coast of Georgia, and there are sixteen tanks that house many species of fish and reptiles like turtles. Children enjoy the touch tanks, which allow them to get up close to see the animals.
There are also exhibits of fossils of extinct animals like wooly mammoths and mastodons, fascinating creatures that once lived in the Skidaway area. Group tours and summer camps are offered at the Marine Education Center and Aquarium, which is open Monday to Saturday. The University of Georgia Aquarium is one of the best things to do in Savannah GA for families.
