The Flint RiverQuarium will be two blocks, straight ahead, at the corner of Front Street and Pine Avenue.

From I-75 South:
At Tifton, take exit 62 onto Highway 82 west. Travel approximately 35 miles to the junction of 82 and 300. Turn left and proceed to the next traffic light at E. Oglethorpe.

From I-85:
Take I-85 South to I-185. Proceed south on I-185 through Columbus. Take exit 1A, Highway 280 South. Highway 280 becomes Highway 520 and eventually Highway 82. At the Albany City limit, Highway 82 becomes Dawson Road. Follow Dawson Road into Downtown Albany, where it becomes Pine Avenue. The Flint RiverQuarium is at the end of Pine Avenue, on the left, at the corner of Pine and Front Street.

3 micro geocaches a couple of blocks south and a regular north near the train tracks, looks like maybe a train yard.
