Dinner, Romance, Lecture, Aquarium Tour And Fun Adult Sleepover At Georgia Aquarium

By Mackenzie Whalen

Atlanta, GA - Georgia Aquarium will host its first “Motions of the Oceans Valentine’s Day Dinner and Lecture” event on Feb. 14, 2009, from 6-9 p.m.

Guests will be treated to an entertaining discussion with Dr. Al Dove and Sr. Biologist Patricia Dove (yes, they’re married) as they take you on a unique voyage to discover the secret mating rituals of animals -- from marine mammals to invertebrates.

The evening will begin with a reception filled with seductive bites and drinks, followed by an enticing dinner by Wolfgang Puck Catering and culminating with a provocative look at animals’ mating behaviors.

Following the dinner and lecture, guests are invited to stay for an adult Sleepover, where they will spend the night in the Ocean Voyager gallery, built by The Home Depot, under the eye of whale sharks. Guests staying the night will be treated to behind-the-scenes and gallery tours and breakfast the following morning.

Ticket prices for the lecture and dinner are $85 for non-members and $75 for members. Ticket prices for the lecture, dinner and Sleepover are $160 for non-members and $135 for members.
