The Georgia Aquarium is opening its door to all patrons aged 21 and over for a '70s-themed "Sips Under The Sea" special event on March 25.

This themed cocktail party aims to provide a more intimate experience for adult guests that want to enjoy all the beauty the aquarium has to offer while avoiding the everyday commotion of normal daytime business hours.

The Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere. It holds over 10 million gallons of water and has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records for having more aquatic life than any other aquarium in the world.

Gallery highlights include the Cold Water Quest, where you can view beluga whales, Japanese spider crabs, Southern sea otters, and the aquarium's official mascot Deepo, a Garibaldi damselfish who lives in the kelp forest habitat.

SHARKS! Predators of the Deep will also be open, where guests can enjoy "one of the largest and most dynamic shark exhibits in North America."

Guests attending the after-hours soirée can enjoy bar and dining options, a live DJ, and of course access to the aquarium's breath-taking galleries. And while bell bottoms are not required, they are encouraged.

Masks are not mandatory to enter the event, but they may be required during certain Animal Encounter Programs and will be available at the gate for those who need one.
