ALBANY, Ga. – One of Albany’s attractions, the Flint RiverQuarium, will be reopening Friday, July 10, at 10 am. Visitors should be aware that some recent construction projects are ongoing, but all exhibits will be open. The Flint RiverQuarium also has recently expanded Sunday hours. Going forward, the aquarium will be open Tuesday-Sunday from 10 am-5pm and closed on Monday.

In a press release, officials from the attractions say, “As part of our commitment to the continued well-being of our guests, team members, and the animals in our care, and in ongoing efforts to assist our community in preventing the spread of COVID-19, we have implemented enhanced protocols and procedures.”

The RiverQuarium’s COVID-19 guidelines are as followed:

  • Guests are strongly encouraged to wear masks, especially during check-in and while interacting with Flint RiverQuarium staff. If guests do not have a face mask, disposable face masks will be available at the ticket office.
  • Flint RiverQuarium team members will be wearing masks.
  • Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of touchpoints, restroom touchpoints and restrooms using a solution approved by the CDC.
  • Visitors are to keep recommended self-care in mind for their safety and the safety of others.
  • If any member of a visiting party is feeling unwell, they are asked to “please visit us another time.”
  • No gathering in groups of more than 10.
  • Promote social distancing by remaining at least six feet away from others who are not within the same party.
  • Wash hands often, using soap and water, for a minimum of 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, the CDC recommends a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. Sanitizing stations are available in the lobbies of the Flint RiverQuarium and the Imagination Theater.
  • Government health organizations currently recommend that persons ages 65 and older, persons who reside in senior care facilities or long-term care facilities, or persons with underlying medical conditions stay home or maintain distance from others.
