A Whale (Shark) of a Time!
Whale sharks are the largest fish on earth, so it makes sense that there is a day dedicated to celebrating them. International Whale Shark Day is special for Georgia Aquarium. When we first opened our doors over 16 years ago, the world knew very little about whale sharks; now, whale sharks are one of the best-studied sharks and a lot of that comes from caring for them at the Aquarium where our researchers have the rare opportunity to study them every day.
Let's Celebrate!
Join us for International Whale Shark Day to witness and celebrate these gentle giants in person. We will have special activities throughout the day, included with general admission.
