On the first and third Sundays of each month, including August, the Flint RiverQuarium presents Discovery Days featuring themed crafts and activities for the whole family. The theme for August is “The Skin They’re In.”
 
Alien Attack: Target Everglade, is currently on exhibit in the Flint RiverQuarium Adventure Center. Alien Attack offers a top-ten countdown of the most dangerous plants and animals and their threat to the area's fragile ecosystems.

Also currently on display in the main building is The Flint River in Photographs, an exhibition of 25 images of the Flint River by Mitchell County native and photographer Waymon Cross. These images capture the river during different seasons, following heavy rains and in the throes of droughts.
