New Traveling Gecko Exhibit!

Georgia Aquarium, in association with The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company), is excited to welcome the traveling GEICO Gecko exhibit!

“Our Gecko may be small, but he sends a very big message: wildlife conservation is important to GEICO,” said GEICO President, Chairman and CEO Tony Nicely. “We’re proud to share this cause with AZA and proud of the work our spokesgecko.”

“We’re excited to host the geckos at our Aquarium,” said Anthony Godfrey, President of the Georgia Aquarium. “Not only is the GEICO Gecko exhibit a great way to view these interesting animals up close, it provides an opportunity for visitors to learn about the important role the Aquarium plays in conservation.”

AZA President and CEO Jim Maddy added, “Aquariums are essential to education and conservation. We’re proud to partner with GEICO and the Georgia Aquarium to spread the conservation message.”

The exhibit will be at Georgia Aquarium from now through May 30, 2009, and is located in the Aquarium's atrium. The exhibit features giant day geckos, a unique group of lizards native to Madagascar and the Indian Ocean islands. The Georgia Aquarium is open Sunday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays.
