There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
The Georgia Aquarium will be open exclusively to Georgia Tech students, faculty, staff and guests on Friday, February 17th, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.. Tickets range between $12.00 (early bird) - $15.00 for students and $22.00 dollars for guests, faculty and staff tickets. There is a limit of one guest ticket per student ticket.
There will also be a Dolphin Show! The Dolphin Show will begin at 7:00 p.m.. While you do not need a ticket specifically for the Dolphin Show this year, we will only be able to accommodate the first 1300 students for the show. If you aren't able to make the Dolphin Show, do know that we've added (for the first time ever!) a Sea Lion Presentation! This show will begin at 7:10 p.m. The Dolphin Show will last approximately 30 minutes, with the Sea Lion Presentation lasting around 20 minutes. The Dolphin and Sea Lion show will be offered on a first-come-first-serve basis. No additional ticket for either show will be needed.
Attendees are welcome to drive to the aquarium, but please note that you will be expected to pay the aquarium parking fee. Drivers can visit our info table near the Aquarium’s main entrance for a validation sticker that will reduce the price of parking to $12.
Students also have the option to reserve a free bus ticket. Time tickets for bus lines begin at 6:00 p.m. and each time ticket has a limited number of available spots. The bus lines will be held at the Instructional Center in Room 103, and the buses will be lined along Ferst Drive. Please arrive at the Instructional Center at least 10 minutes before your bus time. All students must have a valid Buzzcard, bus ticket, and Aquarium ticket to use the buses. GT students only on buses.
The Georgia Aquarium will not allow outside bags, food, or drinks among other materials. Please review their Visitor Information Site for more information.
