From georgiaaquarium.org/tuesdays-in-the-field ↗About this program
The Education team is excited to offer an experience that allows students the opportunity to engage in standards-based instruction at their own pace while exploring topics in marine biology, oceanography, ecology, and other science-related fields.
Included in your homeschool admission is access to exclusive areas, standards-based activities, guest speakers, and admission to all Georgia Aquarium galleries and presentations.
Tuesdays in the Field is our monthly homeschool event, hosted the second Tuesday of every month between September and March. The event is hosted from 9AM to 1PM, and your group can check in for the event until 12PM.
Each event has stations that are self-paced. The stations are based around different monthly themes and have hands-on activities to deepen your students' knowledge and understanding.
Questions
What are the stations?
The stations are based around different monthly themes and have hands-on activities to deepen your students' knowledge and understanding. There is also a quiz station at the end where students can test the knowledge they gained from the other stations.
What is the target age?
Our stations have scaled activities for K-12, so all students can enjoy! If you have a kindergarten student and see some high schoolers at a station, feel free to join in at the same time. Our educators can work with multiple age groups at once! If a station is intended for middle to high school-aged participants, it will be indicated by an "Advanced Learner" sign.
Where is the event hosted?
Tuesdays in the Field is hosted in the Oceans Ballroom! You can reach the ballroom through the first floor of the parking deck. Follow the yellow lines that direct you.
Can I bring additional adults?
All adult parents/chaperones must purchase a ticket for Tuesdays in the Field, unless they have an active Georgia Aquarium membership. The member(s) themselves do not need to purchase a ticket, but other adults without memberships accompanying the group must purchase an adult ticket.
Why can't I use my AquaPass/other reduced price entry method?
Tuesdays in the Field is a ticketed special event and requires a different ticket than a general admission ticket. The AquaPass does not offer discounts or free entry for special ticketed events.
