Did you know? The whale shark is considered the largest fish in the world. The Georgia Aquarium is the only aquarium outside of Asia to exhibit whale sharks. Read more

Always fun. Don't miss the upstairs you can peek into the top of the tanks.

We really enjoyed the aquarium for the Dragon Con event. Highly recommended!

I'm a wedding and event photographer. We photographed a wedding. Most remarkable experience, EVER!

Make sure to get your separate ticket to the dolphin show as early as possible from Guest Information. They were gone 1.5 hours before the show we tried to see.

Love the whale sharks! Magnificent! And they're opening a new sea lion exhibit!
Jaslin ThomasFebruary 16, 2016
Learned so much about the whale shark. It's truly a one world ocean.
KaraFebruary 1, 2014
By far, the nicest aquarium we have ever experienced and the dolphin show is over the top!

Take you're time. It may be crowded in some areas but don't worry the dolphin shows will thin the crowds.

With over 8 million gallons of water in its tanks, Guinness World Records awarded this Smithsonian Affiliate the title of world’s largest aquarium in 2010. (From Aerial America) Read more

The dolphin show was challenging for our 1.5 year old - loud, flashing lights, and too long. So sit somewhere with easy access to exits. At least you can sit awhile and no extra charge!

Wonderful Place. $70/person/day or $300/family/year of three. Great for the family, Dinner, Movies, Excitement, petting tanks. Worth the money. Definately.
Keaton HanrahanMay 21, 2016
Their system was down and not sending out the email confirmation with the barcode. Instead of making 30 paying customers wait, a lady came and out and took care of us. Nice job Georgia Aquarium 🐠🐳🐋
Ashley HammermanMarch 7, 2019
It is beautiful but everything from the initial cost to get in to the prices in the gift shop are so high that the average family would not be able to afford it.
Bill BresnahanOctober 13, 2015
The whale sharks are worth the price of admission. Make sure and catch a feeding show.
Paul HJuly 1, 2012
Sea Otter cashier chick at the cafe (1:44pm today) was a total bitch to everyone. Time for a new "career" perhaps? Pizza is crap. The Aquarium is very nice though!
Samantha WatsonMarch 31, 2019
My FAVORITE place downtwon! Definatly see the dolphin show and sea lion shows!

A great value is the Premium Day Pass, which includes admission to all five galleries and the "4D" movie theater. Read more

The deep monsters exhibit is one of a kind. BTS tour is worth the money and time!
April MooneyMay 20, 2013
It was a pretty good time. I would recommend it. Not too expensive, either. Except the food, I would suggest bringing your own!
Vin Serio 🗿November 8, 2013
Just about to check out the Georgia Aquarium and those who know me know I'm not cheap but $35 per person $70 for two adults to see fish? Really ??
Harumi USeptember 10, 2014
I have been to a bigger aquarium but being able to walk under the fish tank is always fun
Kevin GoodmanDecember 28, 2011
Use the flashlight app on your phone to entertain the penguins. Turn on the light and put it against the glass when they are swimming. They will follow it as you move.
Daniel SligarJuly 2, 2013
Don't bother coming in the summer or on weekends... way crowded & shows might be booked solid. **Get advance tickets to avoid 30-45 min additional wait.**
J MDecember 20, 2015
What's good here? Most everything. The whale shark display is not to be missed.
TinaJuly 22, 2017
The only US aquarium that houses whale sharks and many manta rays
Chris BaileyMarch 22, 2015
People, put down your cameras, iPhones, and iPads and just observe. Your incessant picture taking and selfies are annoying.
Diana Ramirez Montes de OcaSeptember 15, 2017
Everything... check the shows hours before, so you can see them.
Nekia PFebruary 20, 2014
Great aquarium! The whale sharks are awesome!
James OsborneAugust 17, 2013
Definitely for kids of all age and awesome for date night(something different).
Tim SheaDecember 28, 2018
Hard to tell. It was so crowded you couldn’t see anything. Dangerously crowded in my opinion. We bolted after half an hour to walk in the park outside and get some fresh air.
Arun BalakrishnanJune 4, 2013
Go to the World of Coke 1st, then your coke ticket gets you $2 off admission plus free ticket to Dolphin Tales show at the aquarium!!!
Graham StrotherDecember 28, 2013
Cool place, but tarnished by poor floorplans and ZERO concept of effective crowd control. An exhibit exits right into the hallway for the ONLY bathrooms in the main space!

Kids get FREE admission on Saturday, September 7 when they arrive dressed up for Pirate & Princess Day! Restrictions apply. Details here: http://wp.me/p1t9ft-dDe

Try the snorkeling in the big tank. You will not regret it.
Michael NahoomJanuary 24, 2013
Take your time going through all the exhibits and if you bring your kids slow them down and enjoy the day.

The best place to view the Whale Shark feedings is from the middle of the tunnel...you'll see them being fed directly above your head
Vanessa MartosJanuary 30, 2013
The dolphin show is the best we've to. We have been to many including sea world.
Kristi PerryMarch 26, 2018
I love this aquarium and love seeing all the aquatic life!

Everything! It's awesome!!

Fun for the family to learn and site see! This is for all ages!

It’s really interesting in a combination with fun.
Joaquin TorresNovember 9, 2013
Really it's a the best aquarium in the world. I'm enjoying!!
John MaddenApril 25, 2022
It’s the biggest in the country. Lots of great exhibits here. Won’t disappoint.
gerardo naderJanuary 9, 2018
Just amazing! I’ll be back soon!
Jay LoseMarch 18, 2014
No weapons allowed, they do a check with the magic wand. Don't miss the dolphin show.

Buy your tickets ahead of time. If you've got the time, buy the Pemberton Place Pass so you can see both World of Coke & Aquarium - and bypass the long lines! Otters are my fave!
Zubin MehtaMay 19, 2011
Show up 1 hour before close. You'll get the pro-rated entrance fee ($13 for us), lines are non-existent and you'll have plenty of time to see everything.
Paula MadeiraFebruary 10, 2018
It is definitely worth the money. Huge aquarium. At least 3h inside.
Liz PageApril 20, 2014
The dolphin show is a must see!
