Flint RiverQuarium

The Flint RiverQuarium is a nature center and public aquarium in Albany that focuses on the habitats of the Flint River. Inside you will find fish, reptiles, and aquatic plants native to this river system in Southwest Georgia displayed in large tanks.

The facility was established in 2004 with the goal of helping visitors understand freshwater river habitats. It has served as an educational hub for learning about the local water ecosystems and their conservation needs.

The RiverQuarium hosts regular educational programs including tank talks, animal encounters, and special events for families with preschool children every second Friday.

The entrance is easy to find in downtown Albany with parking available for visitors. It works best to arrive in the morning when there are fewer crowds and the animals are more active.

The Blue Hole Spring exhibit displays natural spring water in a setting that replicates its original conditions. Visitors can observe through heavy glass panels how this cold, clear water continuously flows from underground.
