Do you want Behind the scenes as well?

I added it that way on the spread, if you wanted it, just take a look at the spread to confirm the price and selection.


You can pay via paypal, once I get you added to the spread, and you confirm it is accurate

Are we able to get in early or do we have to wait till 1130. Just trying to decide if its worth it.

We set a time just to allow us ease of coordinating the "meeting" plus get to meet faces etc...

The aquarium sets a time based off of group size, I don't think they will care with our group size if we set it earlier or if some show up before the bulk of the group. The only thing with that is, they tend to do the BTS as one group or a cluster of groups... so we would all have to be together most likely for that.

how early were you looking to get in? if those signed up don't mind we can move it up if preferred.

I figured the bts tour was done as a group which is fine. Are we actually having a meeting? I was just worried about not having much time to see everything if the bts tour last a while and we do an actual meeting.

In the past we met outside said our "hey's" then after that it was all self guided however you wanted, then we met at the slotted times for the BTS, then went our separate ways.

The BTS I believe lasts 45min-1hr... and you have till close to tour the aquarium at your own pace... I personally have been multiple times but have never taken more than 4-5 hours... most the time people are done in 2-3 hours.

Hopefully this helps

For those attending on Saturday, You will be meeting out in front of the aquarium entrance by the flagpole/Light pole area. Joe(Twizted1) will be on site @ 11:00am, Please look for him.

 The aquarium is expecting us around 11:30am, please be there and ready to enter around this time as Joe may have to pass out tickets. The normal meeting gift card raffle for premium members will be done prior to entering the Aquarium as it is self guided and some may leave before others or wish to spend more time at certain attractions so taking head count and doing everything prior to entering would be easiest.

The Aquarium has slated the Behind the Scenes tour for 12:00pm, you will be meeting in the lobby as one group for this. Please be sure to be there 10 minutes prior to start.

The aquarium is self guided, and expected to take between 2 and 2.5 hours to complete. You are free to stay as long or as little as you'd like. They will close at 6:00pm and admittance is good till then.

Dang, missing it again this year. The good news is, Lord willing, Monday I will be at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. Really excited about that and will try to get some pics.

That is an amazing aquarium my sister used to live in Savannah and we took the family down to see her a couple years back and we visited the aqaurium on the way back. Was very cool... the main tank is absolutely huge, blows your mind to see the whale sharks.

Thank you Cody for setting this up and all the work you put into it.

Something alse to keep in mind is that we have sponsors in the cinci and dayton area. So this may be a good time to check them out before or after. I plan to.
