Georgia Aquarium - Free Admission to Princesses and Frogs!

Update: boys can dress as either frogs or princes for free admission.

On Saturday, November 21, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., children 12 and under can get into the Georgia Aquarium for free with a paying adult if they dress up: girls can be princesses and boys can be frogs. Disney has a new movie coming out called The Princess and the Frog, and the Aquarium is using this day to promote frog conservation. I'm glad they're including boys, but the day seems to be very princess-focused, with parades, arts and crafts, and photo opportunities.

I love that the Aquarium is offering these free admission days, since it is usually an expensive outing for a family. It also makes it a little easier to take that some of the best exhibits are under construction, as I mentioned here.

Georgia Aquarium - Free Admission to Kids in Costume

It's a rainy Halloween day, unfortunately, and that puts a damper on the last minute pumpkin patch and other fun fall events. So check out the Georgia Aquarium: kids 12 and under in costume get in free today with a paying adult (2 kids per adult). Children can get candy in each of the aquarium sections. This is a huge savings over the regular admission prices.

I do have a couple of caveats, as we went yesterday. First, it is likely to be crazy busy today (though for future reference it wasn't busy at all yesterday afternoon). Second, a number of the best exhibits are closed or under construction, such as the climbing play area, the otters, the penguins, the sea lions, and the beluga whales.

We had a great time, anyway, and if you go, I hope you do, too!

Georgia Aquarium - Mommy and Me

Do you have preschool children whose school has ended for the year, but your school-aged children are still in class? Then hurry - Georgia Aquarium has brought back Mommy and Me!

For $25, you get admission for you and up to four children, age 5 and under. Parking is also included. This is a huge savings, because tickets are usually $26.00 for adults, $19.50 for children 3 and above, and parking is $10 more.

This program only lasts until Friday, May 22 - so take advantage soon! I'm hoping the Aquarium will run it again this fall, because they had it available various times this year.

Thanks, Debbie!
